Was his move to PSG the downfall of Neymar, an old teammate of his spoke about his drop of form

Paris seems to have eclipsed one of the best players in the world, or so Thomas Meunier thinks. The Borussia Dortmund player, who for three seasons wore the PSG jersey and was Neymar's teammate, has stated in an interview with the German media 'Kicker' that 'Ney' is not the same and "lost his magic in Paris".

The Borussia Dortmund right-back also declared himself a fan of the Brazilian striker during his time at Barcelona, but thinks he never showed his best version again when he left for France in 2017.

"I have to admit that I was a big fan of Neymar when he was still playing for Barcelona. The comeback is all his. If I had been 10 years old, I would have had his poster in my room," he confessed.

Meunier also spoke about his departure from the French club in 2020. "In Paris, the sporting director at the time, Leonardo, pushed me back because he didn't want to renew my contract. Everything happened without me, until the Champions League final where I deserved to be.”

Meunier spoke about his exit from PSG

On a personal level, it wasn't easy to leave Paris either. My wife, my children and myself, we all love the city. It was difficult to leave. But over time we managed to adapt as a family. And I think that showed on the pitch," said the player.
