After the final whistle of the game between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich (0-1) in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Neymar and Leandro Paredes flew into each other’s arms in front of Joshua Kimmich. The Brazilian attacker denied talking to TNT Sports that he wanted to provoke the Bayern midfielder, but nevertheless handed out a sneer.
“It was not meant to provoke or provoke him. I just celebrated it with Paredes, but fate decided he was there. Kimmich said beforehand that Bayern was the better team and would continue, they were sure they would go to the semi-finals. There is a saying: you can have as much ball possession as you want. Suppose you sing to a woman all night, but another man comes and takes her. Then she’s gone ”, Neymar announced. Despite the 0-1 defeat, PSG qualified for the semi-final of the Champions League, as the first leg in Munich was won 2-3.

Neymar also showed his good side after the final whistle, by consoling David Alaba. Not entirely coincidentally, the Austrian defender took care of Neymar during the Champions League final won by Bayern from PSG last summer. “I am very happy, despite the defeat,” said Neymar RMC Sport back to the game. “We played against a good team, but we are also a great team ourselves and we showed that tonight. We have eliminated the European champion, our goals have been achieved. ”
“It is true that we talk to each other a lot, that we are a real team. Today we saw that Di María did a lot of running, but we have to congratulate everyone, ”said the Brazilian forward. Ángel Di María was also content. “We have done very well. We beat last season’s best team and go to the semi-finals. I think we deserved this. We have worked very hard to achieve this goal. This is an important moment for the club and we hope we can go even further. ”
