I needed a new challenge - Neymar on £200m move

Neymar: Paris St-Germain's new signing said he left Barcelona for a new challenge   Image captionWhat else could you buy for Neymar's £200m? Brazil forward Neymar said he needed a new challenge, as he  joined Paris St-Germain  from Barcelona for a world record fee of 222m euros (£200m). The 25-year-old won seven major trophies in his four seasons at the Nou Camp, including the Champions League once and La Liga twice. He said his father, Neymar Sr, wanted him to stay at Barcelona.

UCL Preview – PSG need some love against Barcelona on Valentine’s Day

Jide Alaka Cavani  Photo: SkySports In the city of love [Paris], on the day dedicated to love [Valentine’s Day], PSG need some love against five-time champions Barcelona – a team they have been unlucky to be paired with in the last three seasons. Both are lagging behind in their respective championships but both have found form in 2017. Unai Emery was wobbling with his team just before the winter break but have now gone on a four-match winning run that has seen them score 12 goals.

Lionel Messi, Neymar and especially Luis Suarez have been raking in the goals and the trio have already scored 41 goals in La Liga this season. Key factors for victory Edinson Cavani has scored in each of his last six matches in all competitions but another one on Tuesday against Barcelona would be the cherry. Also Emery has not found a way to stop Barcelona, wherever he has coached but this seems the best opportu...
