The Israeli agent believes that the Brazilian star's Champions League hat-trick shows that the 26-year-old has returned to the top of the game

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar is back to his best, proving himself to be a 'football genius', according to Pini Zahavi.

The Israeli agent played a crucial part in Neymar's world record €222 million (£200m/$262m) move from Barcelona to PSG in 2017 and is pleased that he has bounced back after a disappointing World Cup with Brazil.

Zahavi revealed that the 26-year-old's injury was worse than was indicated as Neymar raced back to play for his country despite missing the last four months of the season with a metatarsal fracture.
