Neymar Completes Champions League Career-High 16 Dribbles Against Atalanta | OneFootball

Much was expected out of Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar against Atalanta and he ended up delivering in thrilling fashion. He helped lead the comeback with five goal-scoring chances created and a late assist to top off the 2-1 win.

The most astounding statistic from his performance was his 16 dribbles completed, which is a new career-high in his Champions League career. More so, the 16 dribbles completed are the most recorded by a player in any Champions League fixture since the 2009-2010 season.

Neymar was near unstoppable against Atalanta. It became a habit to see him breeze on by Atalanta midfielders and defenders as he patrolled into the final third. More often than not, Atalanta resorted to simply fouling him in order to contain his on-ball movements.

Next up for PSG is a semifinal encounter against either Atletico Madrid or RB Leipzig. Neymar has history against Atletico but has never faced the German side. Still, Neymar should look to have another field day against whichever of the two will be up next in the tournament.
