Neymar’s dream five-a-side team featured Messi who he now plays with at PSG – but he picked Pogba over a keeper https://ift.tt/3oteXes

DREAMS do come true – or at least they do for Neymar.

When asked to pick his perfect five-a-side selection earlier this year he selected Lionel Messi – and now he’s been re-united with him at PSG.

But the Brazilian forgot to select a goalkeeper.

Kylian Mbappe and Eden Hazard made the cut as the Brazilian insisted upon a forward thinking setup that leaves Paul Pogba as the most defensive player.

In fairness, any side facing such a team would probably never get the ball off them anyway.

Another of Neymar’s former Barcelona colleagues Luis Suarez features with Mbappe also joining the winger.

No Brazil stars were selected by the 29-year-old because he was asked not to in the chat with Red Bull.

Neymar also selected a five-a-side team based on retired players and that too showed disregard for all things defence.

Four Premier League players were called up: Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham.

Spanish playmaker legend Xavi completed that quintet as once again a goalkeeper went missing.

Neymar forms one part of PSG’s lethal forward trio alongside Messi and Mbappe.

Despite being constantly linked with a return to Barcelona for the past couple of seasons, Neymar has stuck it out in Ligue 1.

And with Barcelona now financially crippled, it seems highly unlikely the flamboyant attacker will be heading back to the Nou Camp any time soon.
