The English man has heaped praises on the PSG starlet.

Former Tottenham star Jamie O’ Hara has claimed that PSG forward Neymar is as good as the six-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi.

O’Hara said,

“He’s on a level with Messi in terms of his ability. He will win a game on his own.

“He walks into every Premier League team, he walks into every team in the world.”

OHara added that Neymar is better than the world-class Liverpool trio of Sadio Mane, Firmino and Salah while stating that the PSG ace would start in every Premier League team.

Neymar recently inspired Les Parisiens to the semi-finals of the Champions League beating the Italian underdogs Atalanta. The 28-year-old was rampant throughout the game and highly praised for his performance.

The Brazilian perhaps has been doing this for the majority of the season, which saw him rack up 19 goals and 11 assists in 25 appearances.

Elsewhere, Lionel Messi had endured probably his worst season in Barca shirt, going trophyless for the first time since joining the Catalans. Barca’s poor run of form in both domestic and Continental competitions has marred the brilliant numbers of the Argentine Talisman.

With Messi out of the UCL, his former team-mate Neymar could grab the spotlight if he inspires PSG to the unprecedented UCL glory.

Les Parisiens will meet the dark horses, RB Leipzig, in the semi-finals, and Thomas Tuchel can finally line up the trio of Neymar, Mbappe and Mauro Icardi.
