On Sunday, Neymar scored one goal and assisted two in the Ligue 1 round 12 match against Monaco. This was his first start for PSG since he underwent surgery on his left foot last month.
The Brazilian star had been out of action for over three months due to the injury, but he returned to action with a bang. His goal was a well-taken effort from close range, while his assist was a delightful piece of play that saw him cut inside before delivering a low cross to the far post, where Idrissa Gueye was waiting to slot home.
This was a much-needed boost for PSG, who have struggled without their talismanic forward this season. Neymar's return is likely to give them a much-needed injection of confidence as they look to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Nice earlier in the week.
In addition to his goals and assists, Neymar also showed some resilience during the game, taking a hard tackle from a Monaco player late on and showing no signs of discomfort or pain. He remained focused throughout the match and played a vital role in helping PSG overcome their injury problems.
Overall, it was a good day for Neymar and PSG as they secured all three points in what was a closely contested match. The win moves PSG up to second place in the table, just one point behind leaders Lyon. They will now turn their attention to their next match, which is away to Montpellier on Wednesday night.
