In an interview with Romário, the Al-Hilal number 10 says he reached his peak at PSG.
Since Neymar emerged in football, back at Santos in Brazil, he was already seen as a player with immense potential. When he moved to Barcelona in 2013, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before he became the best player on the planet. According to him, this didn’t happen due to the high number of injuries he suffered throughout his career. Access premium football results at best football scores app.
In an interview with former player Romário’s YouTube channel, Neymar stated that he experienced the peak of his career at Paris Saint-Germain, where he played from 2017 to 2023. For the Al-Hilal No. 10, he believes he could have won an individual award had he not been plagued by injuries.
“I was unlucky to get injured many years in a row; it’s been about seven years of continuous injuries, and it’s not something that takes me two weeks, but months. So, I think that’s what hurt me. Everyone who knows football knows that my peak was at PSG, and playing the way I was playing at PSG, I would definitely have won,” he said.
In 2020, PSG finished as runners-up in the Champions League after losing to Bayern Munich. Neymar played in the knockout stages of the tournament and was a key player, but the season was marked by injuries. Across all competitions, he played just 27 matches for the French club that year.
After leaving PSG, Neymar transferred to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, a move that was heavily criticized by fans. The decision seems to have been far from ideal thus far. Since joining the club in 2023, Neymar has played only seven matches due to injuries: one when he arrived, which was the worst of his career, and a muscle issue at the end of 2024 that is still keeping him off the field.
