There is "no stopping" Neymar and Mbappe

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are enough to give any opponent nightmares, in fact as far as former PSG star Valdo is concerned there is no stopping them.

PSG are in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 25 years.

As far as Valdo, a man who was part of that team is concerned he finds it hard to see anyone stopping his old side going even further this time around for two very special reasons.

Paris Saint Germain disposed of Atalanta this past week to advance to the final four of Europe’s most prestigious tournament.

They did it for the most part with a Neymar who was far from his best and a Kylian Mbappe who played a bit-part role after being introduced as a substitute after proving his fitness late in the day.

Neither superstar were at their very best, but were still able to influence the game enough to play a part in two last gasp goals to secure victory.

Neymar’s pass to Mbappé is incredible in slow motion.

Valdo was speaking to the club’s official website and insists that when those two are at their best the other team may as well pack up and go home.

He said:

“When your name is Neymar Jr or Kylian Mbappe , it’s easier not to doubt.”

“It is true that Neymar missed two opportunities that he usually puts at the bottom. But we felt he was in the game. When he’s playing at that level, there isn’t a tactical system to stop him.”

“A bit like Mbappe or Messi. When he’s on the right night, he’s unstoppable. Neymar had a lot of space, and in the counterattacks he was really impressive.”

“As for Mbappe … Me, if I am the coach of Atalanta, and I see that Kylian Mbappe enters, I am already worried.”

“That already means that it’s impossible to stop him, you need at least 2 players to stop him and the same for Neymar, it’s very complicated.”

“It’s the strength of having a group like Paris Saint-Germain. Now let’s hope that Kylian will be 100% for the next game, so the opponents can’t sleep well.”

It could mean years of success and trophies if the club’s owner is to be believed.
