The Brazilian is however back in training according to Mauricio Pochettino. In a press conference the PSG boss told the reporters,
"“We are very happy with his development and we will see in the days to come if he can be part of the squad against Barcelona,”Source Goal"
This is not good news for Barcelona as the team are already trailing 4-1 and they will need a miraculous comeback to get past the French Champions. Although Neymar did not start in the first leg, 22 year old World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappe made sure that his team got the win.
The Superstar was absolutely brilliant at the Camp Nou and ran circles around the Catalan defence. He scored a hat-trick and left Barcelona in a very tough situation. The team has to score four goal at least but PSG boss is still very aware of another miraculous comeback which could be on the cards.
The Catalans recently came back from behind against Sevilla and are looking a very deadly club. They could make another brilliant comeback as this is a team that never stops fighting but Neymar and Mbappe will be there to make sure the French team isn’t embarrassed a second time by Barcelona.
