Neymar, 3 – The Brazilan maverick failed to influence PSG’s attacking with the same gusto and flair he showcased this season. An uninspiring and passive display, as if he didn’t know what to do with the ball. Two weeks after losing away to Lens, PSG fell again away from home, with only a three point lead on the Nord side.
