Neymar bizarrely claims his 'best sporting years were at PSG' despite lingering 'feeling of sadness' over his time with Ligue 1 giants

Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester City

<p>The Brazil star moved to Parc de Princes in 2017 for a world record transfer fee from Barcelona and spent six seasons in the French capital before moving to the Saudi Pro League to sign for Al-Hilal in 2023. During his time with the French champions, Neymar won 12 trophies including five Ligue 1 titles, and he scored 118 goals in 173 appearances across all competitions.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Before heading to Paris, Neymar had already won the Champions League title with Barcelona and formed one-third of the most deadly attacking triumvirates of all time, alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. However, the Al-Hilal star has now claimed that his most memorable sporting moments came during his time with PSG, despite feeling "sadness" over his many injuries at the club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/j-ai-joue-mon-meilleur-football-au-psg-paris-la-selecao-l-arabie-saoudite-neymar-dit-tout-dans-une-interview-exclusive-sur-rmc_AV-202412150391.html" target="_blank"><em>RMC Sport</em></a>, Neymar said: "Obviously I am passionate about football. I agree that my sporting years at PSG were probably the best for me. But it was very sad for me, because I often had very serious injuries that could last from three, four to six months. </p><p>"It bothered me a lot, but in terms of football, in terms of sport, it was the best Neymar they had in my entire career. So I am happy to have been able to offer that to French football, but on the one hand, there is also this feeling of sadness… Because I did not play a full season, only the year 2020, when we reached the Champions League final. It was really a great year when I think back on it. I will never forget those moments, they are engraved in my heart."</p>

WHAT NEYMAR SAID

<p>The Brazil international remains sidelined after his latest injury setback in Saudi Arabia, however, he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/neymar-nears-return-al-hilal-brazil-star-down-work-latest-injury-setback/blta9571d083eb527d2#cs33f721755133a72b" target="_blank">recently shared an update on his condition</a> where he was seen working out in the gym in a bid to return to the football field soon.</p>
