Kang-In Lee, Bradley Barcola and Joao Neves found the way to goal and allowed the Parisians to regain the lead in the standings and thus reassure themselves before hosting Tottenham this Wednesday in the Champions League.
The latter has continued to seduce his world since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2024 but even more since the start of the season where he turned into a goalscorer. Indeed, Joao Neves has found the net 6 times in all competitions with PSG (9 goals if we count the achievements with Portugal).
Remarkable statistics which make him PSG’s top scorer at the start of the season ahead of Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola who both have 5 goals.
Luis Enrique satisfied with the evolution of Joao Neves
An indisputable starter in the Parisian midfield since January 2025, Joao Neves has moved to another dimension since his arrival at PSG. Number 87 performs in every match and forms a formidable trio with Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.
Praised for his technical and physical qualities but also his sense of the game, the former Benfica player has turned into a scorer since the start of the season to the delight of Luis Enrique who did not hide his satisfaction this Saturday evening at a post-match press conference.
“ Who is João Neves? Is it the little player who always scores? It’s pretty, we see that it has a lot of quality. He was criticized, but it’s normal to be criticized. It’s nice to see his progress and we’re happy to see that he has this ability to score goals,” he said. The Portuguese has also found the path to goal 6 times in his last 5 matches in all competitions (PSG and Portugal).
