João Neves shines brightest in star-studded Toulouse v PSG (Video) | OneFootball

Last night, PSG, the perennial French champion, took to the field once more for another Ligue 1 match. This time, Luis Enrique's team visited Toulouse's home ground in a game full of emotions, history, and many goals. However, despite the Parisian rout, the spotlight was on former Benfica player, João Neves.

The Portuguese international - who is part of the squad for Portugal's matches - was the brightest star of the night, completing a hat-trick. However, the most impressive aspect of the number 87's performance wasn't just the three goals he scored, but the fact that two of them were executed with bicycle kicks.

In a match that ended with a 6-3 result in favor of the Paris team, the former Benfica midfielder started and, within minutes, opened the festival of emotions by scoring the first of his three goals in the 7th minute. After Barcola's goal, Neves raised the stakes and, with an out-of-this-world bicycle kick, extended the lead to 3-0 in the 14th minute.

In the second half, after Toulouse scored two consolation goals and Ousmane Dembélé made it 5-2 for the visiting team, João Neves still had the energy to cap off his performance with a flourish. When the clock showed 74 minutes of play, the Portuguese international found the back of the net once more and, without any hesitation, scored his third personal goal.

Entering his second season in Paris, João Neves continues to justify the investment made by PSG in 2024/25. In the current sports season, the former Benfica player - valued at 80 million euros - has so far played two official matches, all in Ligue 1. In the 157 minutes he has been on the pitch, the former Benfica player has scored three goals.
