The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Paris defeated Arsenal at home. In this highly anticipated strong dialogue, the competition between the two sides in the midfield became the key to affecting the trend of the game. Fabian Ruiz broke the deadlock, Vitinia took the penalty, and the only one who stayed behind the scenes in the Paris three midfielders was Joao Neves.

The omnipotent midfielder genius

has reached 12 kilometers (first in the game), 19 confrontations and 12 successes (first in the game), 90% pass success rate, 5 clearances (third in the game) and 6 steals (first in the game) on the defensive end... Joao Neves delivered an answer that belongs to the "all-round genius", and his outstanding performance dwarfs the opponents Thomas, Rice and Odega.

This season, Joao Neves has completed 57 steals, ranking first among all players. The last player who can complete 50 steals in a single season was Gattuso twenty years ago. While dominating the ground, the young midfielder, who is only 1.74 meters tall, won four championships, which is also the highest in the game. Given the advantages of Arsenal's "Giant Formation" in confrontation, Joao Neves' air combat ability can be described as shocking. Mr.

60 million is no less than Yamal

The summer window of 2024 was worth 59.9 million euros. Joao Neves soon gained a foothold in Paris Saint-Germain's main lineup and became the top puzzle around Vitinia and Fabian Ruiz. Given Joao Neves' age (20 years old) and resume (only one and a half seasons of Portuguese Super League experience), perhaps only the sky is his limit in the future.

In the 2024 "Copa Award" shortlist, Joao Neves is on par with Yamal, and his talent and potential can be seen. He is not tall but has a solid lower plate, outstanding pace and speed, strong running ability, very mature timing for interception and top-strike, and excellent ability to dribble and pass threatening balls... Geyer, Soler and Ugat leave the team one after another. Joao Neves achieved the integration and upgrade of these players, and won the recognition and love of fans in a short time. In the league before the second leg of the semi-finals, the only player Enrique had no rotation was Joao Neves, the young player's current tactical status can be seen.

Supernova ushered in the ultimate challenge

In addition to having impeccable technical capabilities, Joao Neves also has the demeanor of a general and the temperament of an idol, and there is a great possibility of becoming a "top star" in football in the future. In the upcoming Champions League final, Joao Neves will face Serie A top midfielder Barrera, who is also a comprehensive and tough hexagonal fighter. The talented Portuguese young man will make progress and improve in his fight with masters.
