Neymar is the leader Paris Saint-Germain hoped for - Tuchel

Neymar has become the leader Paris Saint-Germain hoped he would be this season, according to Thomas Tuchel, who stressed the forward must now keep up his sensational form.

After recovering from a groin injury earlier in the campaign, Neymar has been in imperious form in recent weeks and is on 11 goals and five assists from 12 Ligue 1 appearances.

The 27-year-old - who wanted to rejoin Barcelona in the close season but ultimately stayed in Paris - has suffered serious injuries in both of his previous seasons at PSG, and Tuchel now wants to see Neymar to maintain the level of performance he is displaying at the moment.
