Neymar Reveals How He Has Helped Lionel Messi to Adapt to Life at PSG

• Lionel Messi endured a difficult first season by his own standards in Paris after joining PSG from Barcelona
• But the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is seemingly finding his feet again with exemplary performances this season
• His teammate Neymar has revealed that he might have played a role in helping Messi settle in

Neymar has explained that he played a specific role in helping Lionel Messi settle into life at Paris Saint-Germain after a difficult first season.

Messi made a high-profile switch to PSG from Barcelona last summer after it became apparent that the Spanish side couldn't renew his contract.

The Argentine, arguably the best player ever, struggled to replicate his astronomical levels at PSG after he scored only a paltry six league goals. He was also unable to prevent PSG from exiting the Champions League at the hands of eventual winners, Real Madrid.

He has, however, looked reborn this season as he already has three goals and six assists in the first six games.

Neymar has claimed that he might have played a role in Messi's resurgence. In a wide-ranging interview with DAZN, the Brazilian opined that,

I have known Messi for a long time. I was able to help him on the pitch and in training by talking to him. It's hard, but I think he's getting better now, and he's getting better. feels at home. I want him to have fun, and I want us to have fun together. We know we have a lot of things and challenges ahead of us, but I'm sure we can get over them.

The pair will be looking to partner with Kylian Mbappe to deliver PSG's first Champions League trophy in their history.

Sports Brief has also reported that Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar was put to task to explain the toughest adversary he has ever faced.

Neymar is one of the best players in the world and has often been mentioned just below the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He is also one of the best dribblers in the game, making a defender's job of marking him more difficult. His ability to use his feet and pick out passes makes him a threat even for the world's best defences.
