Mate, PSG would be significantly better without him, as no manager dares to actually play to tactical strengths but to the player power, particuly Neymar.
The thing is though, he's spent a large part of the last couple of seasons out injured, and the fact remains they performed worse without him. Tuchel had plenty of opportunity to play to tactical strengths without Neymar.
you talk about consistent performers, but I can't name one big game he was the standout player.
It's not the player's fault if you don't have a great memory.
He was MOTM when Barcelona achieved arguably their biggest comeback of all time - you can try to remember which one that was. He's been MOTM in the El ClƔssico. He's repeatedly scored against AtlƩtico Madrid. He's scored in the Champions League final, the Confederations Cup final, the Olympic Games final, the Brazilian Cup final, the Libertadores final, the Spanish Cup final, and that's just going off the top of my head. When BarƧa won the Champions League, he scored three times in the semifinals vs Bayern and also three times vs PSG in the quarter finals before that. He's the highest scoring Brazilian in the history of the Champions League, and there have been some half-decent ones before him.
We outclassed them at home IMO, and he didn't have a sniff all game
True, and then he was MOTM in Paris. You can't just cherry pick what suits your argument
