On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain beat Manchester City 4-2 (video summary PSG/Manchester City) at the Parc des Princes as part of matchday 7 of the Champions League league phase. After the match, UEFA elected the player of the match. It was João Neves (20-year-old midfielder).

A reward that seems richly deserved for Neves, even if PSG were collectively very strong, with several individuals in fine form. The Portuguese shone particularly brightly with his energy in the middle of the park, and the 3-2 goal did him a world of good. We hope to see him continue to confirm that he was an excellent recruit last summer.
