Liverpool/PSG – João Neves delighted, sees a bright future

João Neves, the 21-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, spoke to PSG TV after Paris’ 0-2 win over Liverpool (Liverpool/PSG highlights) this Tuesday at Anfield in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-finals (0-4 on aggregate).

João Neves “You must always respect the opponent”

“At this stage of the season, it’s normal to suffer in this kind of match, but always as a team. We know that we also make our opponents suffer. You must always respect the opponent: defend when you have to defend, and attack when you have to attack. I’ve been at the club for two years, and my journey here has already been incredible.

João Neves “I think great things are still to come”

I think great things are still to come, and for Paris Saint-Germain to reach a third straight Champions League semi-final, that is part of a major project. I came here because I know what Paris is worth: the players, the supporters, and everyone involved. And I think Paris Saint-Germain will continue to grow as a club.”

Playing a Champions League quarter-final second leg at Anfield is never easy for any European team. PSG knew they were going to suffer, and they did during this match. They had to be patient, mentally strong, and above all confident in their own qualities. At this level, the hardest thing is not winning a match, but having the mental strength to hold the score when the momentum and euphoria have faded. The capital club executed that perfectly this Tuesday.

Once again, Luis Enrique’s men showed their determination to chase a second star. Now just three matches away from another remarkable achievement, PSG remains feared across Europe and the leading favorite to retain its crown. Between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the Parisian club will face a European giant in the next round, but PSG seems ready to take on any opponent.
