On September 14, 2019, Neymar made his highly anticipated return to the pitch for Paris Saint-Germain, marking his first appearance of the season in a 1-0 win over Strasbourg at Parc des Princes.
The 27-year-old Brazilian star, who had been at the center of transfer speculation, proved his worth with a breathtaking over-head kick in the 90th minute, securing the win for PSG despite a hostile reception from the home crowd.
Despite being booed by fans and subjected to large messages, Neymar remained unfazed, perfectly timing his acrobatic strike from a well-delivered Abdou Diallo cross.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel had earlier expressed his confidence in Neymar, stating that he needed to 'focus' after a challenging few weeks. Neymar's return to the squad was seen as a positive step, and he made the most of it with his incredible goal.
