He missed the last 3 games because of international duty. La Liga finished in June and Fifa refused to release him back to Barcelona
The natural successor: Has Neymar blown it?
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
I agree
Yeah, Dinho's peak was 2005. By 2006 he already slowed down a little bit and by 2007 he'd started to decline. Be the end of the 06/07 season Messi was already barcelona's best player. Dinho was still a great player, but already no longer the monster of two years before
He had already said that he isn't planning on wearing Barcelona's shirt again on 31th of May and in the next few days he had informed Barcelona that he was going to Inter (with Moratti confirming it). He could've played 1 more game – the one that they've lost against Hercules, on 1th of June. The rest he had to miss because of the Copa, but this one would've been enough for Barcelona to win La Liga.
Feck you Neymar
Very poor from him. Trying to do all these tricks.
I wanted Bayern to win just to see this lad cry...
Why didn't he try a rainbow flick or anything today?

Delighted he hasn't gotten his hands on the trophy, worst role model for young kids there is in football. Real life shit cnut.
The little diving crybaby fecker is still weeping.
Bellend.
Someone at PSG would want to sit him down and have a one to one with him. If you keep playing for yourself rather than the team, we wont win the CL.
Still a cnut, but he did try his best out there tonight.
As I said he is no second coming of Messi or Ronaldo as some on here echoed after Atalanta game. Really glad Paris didn't win it. Self entitled pricks.
Said it before if he ever signs for Utd i will stop supporting them . Biggest cheat in football a horrible horrible player . Delighted he lost
Feed me those tears.
I don't like him too, but whats wrong with his tricks? He is one of the few players who still do exciting things on the pitch.
2nd half his head went. Salty tears 
Has he forgotten how to score? It has to be sharpness after the break, Ive never seen him so wasteful before
Didn’t turn up today. Quiet in the first half, mostly bad in the second half. The hate he gets goes a bit overboard though.
Why do people hate him? Is it literally just because of his diving or have I missed something obvious?
Don't get me wrong. I can't stand him jumping around like rabbit every other tackle. But for some reason I can't get myself to really hate him. He actually seems pretty likeable off the pitch. And he always seem to get along with opponents after the match no matter how much diving he has done. Somewhere in there, there is still a honest and humble guy who just doesn't seem to be able to handle his own natural gift and the pressure it has put upon him.
He tried but didn't really get going today
A game to forget for him. No doubt with how fickle a lot are, opinions will no doubt revert back to him being overrated etc.
Still the best forward in the game currently for me (Messi aside)

Him and Mbappe missed plenty of chances since the restart.
Maybe the lack of sharpness. Maybe just bad days.
It's the time and the place for me.
I remember the world cup. Costa Rica. Heavily favourites and they couldn't score.
They finally did in the 90th min give or take.
So then what does he do, rainbow flicks a player and such.
These are grown men. He wants to take the piss when they're winning, against a small Country who had very little hope in the game... Wasn't needed.
So to see him cry today serves him right
Why does he think this whole thing is all about him? Is he Walter White? There is no space for anyone else it seems
He will be remembered as another Denilson. Even Rivaldo is more legendary than him.
Terrible decision to play him through the middle.
For me it’s watching him makes me question why I’ve watched football my entire life. His antics are so unpalatable to me that if every player acted like he does I’d quit watching the sport within a week. Suarez is the only other player I’d categorise the same way. Despicable.
I don't know whats worse about this comment. Neymar being another Denilson, or saying 'Even Rivaldo' like its some humiliation to be below him
So ineffective, made more often the wrong decision today than the right one. He was lacking game intelligence today. Very poor for a WC player.
Think this was PSG's one and only chance to win this competition with Neymar & Mbappe.
Covid has a hand to play if he's not off this window.
His shooting boots have deserted him, which is odd for Neymar. Worst possible time to be profligate .

Worst player on the pitch in the final I think. Nothing worked for him at all.
The twelve posts above yours were just, that!
Rough game today. PSG midfield didn't exist second half and they couldn't get the ball forward.
There's a pattern emerging now where he reverts to type when up against it in high-pressure situations. Where he hangs onto the ball too long, where his head goes down, where he no longer plays for the team. We seen it in the World Cup against Belgium when he insisted on doing it all by himself. Those bad habits became more prominent as the game wore on tonight. His hero complex can be both talismanic and corrosive to his team's chances.
Still, I was highly impressed with his performance against Atalanta. Obviously two horrible misses, but how he responded to them. He showed resilience to repeatedly do the right thing, eventually wearing them down once he had another strike partner on his wavelength to bounce off. It was the performance of a proper professional, which was lacking at times tonight.

Aye ridiculous on both counts. Neymar surpassed Denilson the best part of a decade ago.
Well put.
He can't improve on this. UCL semis or losing a final feels like his apex with PSG. He should move elsewhere as soon as his contract ends.
Jesus christ. Rivaldo is legendary, so that's hardly an insult. But Denilson?
Neymar surpassed Denilson after a season. He has won the CL before you know.. scored in the final tooTried too much in the second half. I get that he felt his teammates weren't at the races, but still(also was wrong. Di Maria and Mbappé were dangerous and the midfielders were playing well). Same story as the belgium game, gets it into his head that he has to win by himself and at this level it's just not going to happen, becomes a detriment to his team
I actually think he's shown in these last matches that he's probably the best player in the world right now, in terms of talent. The only thing you can do is triple team him or foul him or both. He's not at the right club, that much is obvious. And he looks stuck there.
edit: tonight there was hardly any link between midfield and attack, so they all struggled. Marquinos was probably their best player. But I think in recent games he's lived up to all the hype.
