Moussa Dembele may have opened the scoring against PSG but Neymar has since taken over, having scored two goals and sending James Forrest back to the East End of Glasgow with this nutmeg.
The Brazil international has an impressive record against the Scottish champions, having dominated Brendan Rodgers’ side during their previous encounter at Celtic Park.
And Neymar has bettered that record this evening, beating Craig Gordon twice to hand PSG a 2-1 lead before the half-hour mark.
On the way to securing the Parisian’s advantage, the 25-year-old left Forrest red-faced after executing this perfectly-timed nutmeg at the Parc des Princes:

It remains to be seen whether Rodgers can find a way to stop Neymar from notching a hat-trick in the hour that remains in the French capital.
However, with the ex-Barcelona man clearly running the show alongside a team which is growing in confidence toward half-time, it may take some doing!
