Actu Foot reported, citing L’Équipe, that João Neves had temporarily fallen down the hierarchy at PSG after a decline in performance. The media indicated that the Portuguese player had only played 15 minutes against Manchester City (4-2) and had scored only one goal with Paris throughout the year 2026. He was also ranked 12th among Parisians for passes breaking a line, behind Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Warren Zaïre-Emery. Actu Foot added that in the national team, João Neves was also surpassed by Vitinha, whose profile would better meet the expectations of coach Jorge Jesus. According to the media, PSG, however, considered this setback to be temporary, particularly due to the need to manage the player's physical alerts. #PSG #JoãoNeves #Football (translated)
