Neymar proved he is a top player again – Gasperini

Neymar proved his class again during Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League win over Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini said.

PSG produced an incredible late comeback to edge Atalanta 2-1 in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.

Neymar set up Marquinhos’ equaliser in the 90th minute to cancel out Mario Pasalic’s opener, before Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting struck the winner three minutes later.

Atalanta head coach Gasperini praised Neymar’s performance at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon.

“He is a player we paid a lot of attention to, because we saw that as soon as he had a little space, he would become very dangerous,” he told a news conference.

“Neymar is a great football player, a crack. And he proved it [again] as well, even though I believe we managed to limit him quite often.

“However, he proved he is a top player.”
