Neymar has the magic touch in European soccer’s most difficult and prestigious competition.
Neymar, 22, scored a fantastic goal Tuesday in Barcelona’s 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar’s goal was a more-than-worthy game-winner for Barcelona, which clinched the top spot in Group F of the UEFA Champions League with the victory.
The game was tied 1-1 in the 41st minute when Andres Iniesta passed to Neymar and watched his Brazilian teammate take off. Neymar sprinted through PSG’s midfield, as defenders (and national squad teammates) David Luiz and Thiago Silva backed away, and unleashed a curling shot toward the top corner from 30 yards out. PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu was powerless to stop Neymar’s drive as it flew by him.

Neymar’s impressive 2014-15 Champions League campaign continues, and he might pass a certain legendary Brazilian striker who once played for Barcelona when continental play resumes in February 2015.
