What we saw yesterday in the champions league , was Paris.
It was beautifully flowing wonderful art. It was lazy it was colorful, it was Neymar. It was fashion week it was the Champs-Élysées, it was Paris.
Neymar is Paris.
Yesterday was a display (at times) of just perfection. Not to say Barcelona wasn’t beautiful and all those things, but Barcelona was too vanilla. It was too unified for such a colorful flower. They wear denim shirts to away games and ride the bus and take their team car to practice. That’s not Neymar. Neymar hangs out with hailey Baldwin at fashion shows and has crazy hair and hoop earrings .
PSG took the lead with such class and then decided to take periodic cigarette breaks throughout the match. The end stats were FC Bayern with 60% possession and 15 corners. Normally a German would equate that with an automatic win and if he found out they lost his head would explode. But they got tossed around, whenever PSG felt like playing. Neymar would show up every once in a while with some flash of beauty, but then would drift off to probably take a cigarette break. PSG won 3-0, but in their own way.
Neymar took his talents to Paris and it couldn't have fit more perfectly. At first everyone thought, 'how could you leave Messi and co' and saw him as a sort of mercenary. I was one of those people.
But now I see the truth.
He's a genius and made the right decision.
PSG has a better midfield and don't you dare argue it. Yes Suarez and Messi are in their own class and I feel bad putting Messi in the same sentence as someone else even and talking class but it was just the easiest way to write it. Other than those 2, the rest of Barcelona is WASHED.....and not in that vintage stone washed way, like the washed where the collar of your hanes shirt turns into bacon because it was washed so many times. PSG is fresh and new and just bought this 18 year old, maybe you've heard of him? Mbappe....yeah he's the real deal. PSG upgraded and found a way to keep World cup winning Julian Draxler and certified baller Angel di maria on the bench, you know, just in case. Not to mention they have the almost amazing Lucas Moura and original mercenary himself Javier Pastore. Barcelona bought Spurs reject Paulinho from some Chinese club...and thats it.
Neymar gets to do his Brazil-number-10-role thing for club and country, what could be better?
There have been lots of moves in the sports world recently with KD going to Golden State, Kyrie going to Boston and Melo going to OKC. None of these moves fit. Melo has no bodega to chill in out in Oklahoma, Kyrie is a Jersey boy in Boston, and KD, who's Mr. Soft Skin twitter hack just went to the social media center of the planet.
Even when he was first being courted by both Spanish giants, I figured Neymar was more Madrid than Barcelona, as far as player and person. It never seemed to fit perfectly for me at Barcelona even though they won a whole lot. He was a flashy young star and all white seemed to make more sense, but he followed in Ronaldinho's footsteps instead and I think he didn't realize, the guy who 'forced' dinho out way too early, is still there, wearing number 10.
Neymar and his hoop earrings just fit in Paris.
