Neymar shed light on the reasons behind the team’s recent Champions League disappointments, particularly in the last two seasons. Despite 😊 boasting a formidable trio that included himself, Mbappé, and Messi, the club’s European aspirations have been thwarted with early exits 😊 in the round of 16.

“Football stuff,” Neymar said in an interview with the Youtube channel “Que Papinho” (h/t ESPN Brazil). 😊 “Galacticos didn’t win the Champions League, so it’s part of it. We had a very strong team. Me, Messi, and 😊 Mbappé are three guys who are the best in the world.

“We know that, but unfortunately, it didn’t fit. It wasn’t 😊 good for us. Obviously, we wanted to win everything, [and] we were close in the locker room, but sometimes football 😊 is not right [or] fair. It’s not like a cake recipe.”

As the Brazilian forward remains at PSG, Mbappé has an 😊 uncertain future with the Ligue 1 side. The 24-year-old opted not to trigger the option to extend his contract until 😊 2025. Mbappé can become a free agent next summer, and PSG could be looking to sell him this summer.

Meanwhile, Messi 😊 has already begun the next chapter of his career after signing with MLS side Inter Miami. PSG is going in 😊 a different direction and Neymar might be the only player standing once the 2024-24 season starts.
