Neymar Embraced Roberto Firmino After His Late Winner Against Paris Saint-Germain

-


Neymar congratulated Roberto Firmino after he scored the winner to sink his PSG side at Anfield last night.

Liverpool were dominant throughout proceedings but it looked like we were heading for a draw when Kylian Mbappe popped up in the 83rd minute to level matters.

However, substitute Firmino had the final say, twisting and turning Marquinhos in stoppage time before slotting past Alphonse Areola and giving Jurgen Klopp's side a winning start to their Champions League campaign.

And though Neymar will have been disappointed with the result and his showing on Merseyside, he still felt the need to congratulate his Brazilian teammate after the game while he was in the mixed zone.

Firmino was a doubt for the game after being forced off against Spurs at the weekend with a nasty eye injury caused by Jan Vertonghen at Wembley.

Daniel Sturridge deputised well and scored the opener but the former Hoffenheim man's services were required and he well and truly delivered when called upon.

After finding the net and sending Anfield into raptures, the 26-year old produced a brilliant 'one-eye celebration' to reference his recent injury.

Sadio Mané just can't help himself :joy: 

He's stolen another celebration...

Neymar, meanwhile, was very ineffective for the visitors and a bad night for him was capped off by him being mugged off by Sadio Mane. He sent him back to Santos.

Supratim Biswas former I am still studing.. 2w ago Thanks for A2A.. Cristiano Ronaldo is the new captain of Real Madrid There's no doubt that  Cristiano Ronaldo  is playing some of the best football of his career and as a reward, Real Madrid have handed him the captain's armband. In the absence of Alvaro Arbeloa, recently transferred to West Ham United, Los Blancos needed a fourth captain and the Portuguese has assumed the role. He joins Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo in the quartet 'responsible' for the first team. Ronaldo came to Madrid in the summer of 2009 and is beginning his eighth season in the all-white. A veteran of the squad, he's earned the right to be bestowed with the honour of leading the team. Asif Nawaz studied at Lahore University of Management Sciences 2w ago On several occasions.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is ready for a busy summer transfer window. And according to the  Guardian , Lampard is eyeing another three signings as the Blues eye a Premier League title charge next season. Chelsea boss Lampard could sign Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell, West Ham's Declan Rice and Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen Chilwell is Lampard's top target to slot in at left-back. The Blues boss has concerns over Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri - and England international Chilwell could be Chelsea's starting left-back for years to come. Chilwell's England team-mate Rice has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old can play at centre-back or as a defensive midfielder. Rice's versatility is appealing to Lampard, who is considering a summer bid. Finally, is Bayer Leverkusen's Havertz. The Germany international would be Chelsea's most expensive summer signing if the playmaker heads to Stamford Bridge. The Blues could be forced t...

Liverpool make final Thiago transfer decision with Man Utd and Arsenal interested

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich this summer. “We never had any contact with Liverpool. If he wants to go there, we will have to deal with it.” Liverpool have already hinted that they won't have much money to spend in the summer transfer window having pulled out of negotiations to sign top target Timo Werner. The Reds weren't prepared to meet Werner's release clause, hinting the coronavirus pandemic has left the club re-evaluating their finances ahead of the transfer window opening. With that in mind, Spanish football expert Guillem Balague doesn't think Liverpool would splash out £31m to sign Thiago this summer. Jurgen Klopp also has an abundance of midfield options with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita all fighting for a spot in the starting line-up. However, he adds that Thiago could be interested in a move to either  Manchester United  or  A...
