WATCH: Neymar humiliates another opponent before producing a sublime no-look cross for PSG

He makes it look easy

JOE

Neymar  has settled into life at Paris Saint-Germain quite nicely.

A few weeks on from leaving Barcelona in a world record transfer, the Brazilian’s first two matches for PSG have seen him weigh in with a handful of assists and three goals.

On Friday night, Neymar made his second PSG appearance at the Parc des Princes, helping his club to another Ligue 1 victory – this time coasting to a 3-0 win against St-Etienne.

There were no goals for the 25-year-old on this occasion, although the 25-year-old still managed to show off some of his trickery throughout the game. Arguably the best example of this came in the first half, when Neymar used his skill to engineer enough space to deliver a cross from the left wing.

Having attempted to shake off the attention of Romain Hamouma with a couple of feints, Neymar finds his way past his opponent with a nutmeg.

Then, purely for showboating purposes, he delivers a no-look cross deep into the St-Etienne box.

Unfortunately from his point of view, nobody was on hand to convert the cross.

PSG took a first half lead through Edinson Cavani’s penalty. This lead was doubled after the break from a rare Thaigo Motta goal before Cavani later added the final goal of the game to make absolutely sure of the points.
