Neymar has been named the UCL Player of the Week.
The Brazilian, who was the hero as Barcelona knocked PSG out in 2017, was at his very best as the French champions secured their place in the semi-finals.
He missed two big chances to score in the first half and the critics were out with their pitchforks.
But nobody offered more of a threat and for his sheer efforts alone, Neymar deserves this.
Per Opta, the 28-year-old completed 16 successful dribbles in the match, which is the highest in a Champions League game since April 2008.
He beats Muller, Upamecano & Dembele and deserves all the plaudits coming his way after a fine individual performance.

muller ? his performance was the best... even though neymar had more impact in his match, muller was a bit better... i think the only reason neymar won is cuz bayern collectively played exceptional

First of all, he made 16 successful dribbles, not 17. And also, Cristiano Ronaldo has the record with 20 successful dribbles.
