Paris Saint Germain coach Thomas Tuchel left out Brazilian star boy Neymar on the bench on Tuesday night as the Parisians lined up to take on one of the best sides in Europe: Real Madrid.
When PSG paid a ridiculous activation clause to force Neymar’s move to Paris, sitting on the bench when they faced the top dogs of European football was certainly not part of the deal.
The Brazil star has not played since he suffered the injury and missed PSG clash against Manchester United as the French club were knocked out in the round of 16 for the second year in a row. His latest clearance to begin training is part of his rehabilitation and he could feature for the club before the end of the season.
