Neymar will not play the first leg against Barcelona by 90% according to most French newspapers .
The strange thing is that he has repeated injuries during this period of each season, and thus it has become impossible to know if it was due to his sister’s birthday as usual, or if it is really a real injury.
The biggest loser is PSG, because the Brazilian has a great influence on the team's form, confidence and morale, especially in the face of Barcelona !! Currently the Parisian club is without two very important weapons, Neymar and Di Maria, which makes the test difficult for the Argentine coach, who is still getting to know the best squad to face Barcelona.
This is very bad news for Paris Saint-Germain, as many would not relate to the manner of play and behavior of Neymar, but it is worth recognizing that PSG with Neymar and without Neymar is a very big difference, despite the presence of Mbappe in the squad. And even if the Brazilian can play in the second leg, it is not a fact that it will allow PSG to achieve a winning result, despite all the problems that plague Barcelona, especially since Messi continues to score his goals.
Barcelona's defense is not enough strong. PSG can take advantage of this opportunity. If Mbappe and di Maria play well, they will be able to knock down the Barcelona defense. But if Neymar is in the team, the players are more cheerful and strong mentally. I'm not sure if Mbappe will be able to perform well without Neymar.
