Brazil international and PSG star, Neymar Jnr found it hard to perform in the UCL first leg against Liverpool last night.

The Reds Defense line held down the former Barcelona forwards as he was almost cut off from the rest of his teammates.

Despite PSG suffering a defeat to Liverpool in a 2 – 1 scoreline, the star player was full of praise for his fellow countryman and Liverpool forward, Roberto Firmino, who gave the Reds their third and winning goal.

Neymar Jnr approached Roberto Firmino while the latter was granting a post-match interview with the press in the tunnel.

The two Brazil stars embraced each other as Neymar told Firmino he played greatly.

Roberto Firmino didn’t start for Liverpool owing to an eye injury he sustained during a match against Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend in the English Premier League.

The Reds striker was replaced with England international, Daniel Sturridge, who gave the Rede their first goal.

Firmino would later come in as a substitute after he confirmed to coach Jurgen Klopp he was fit to play.

The Brazil football star came on board and gave Liverpool the third goal that helps them maintain a 100 per cent win in all torment this season.

Last season under Antonio Conte was one of the best in my entire football career
