Legend of Arsenal Thierry Henry talked about the reasons for the transfer of Neimar to PSG.

Last summer, the Brazilian winger moved to Paris for a record 222 million euros of compensation.

According to many, Neimar's decision to move to PSG was dictated not only by financial reasons, but also by the desire of the 26-year-old player to be the leader of the team, and not be behind Lionel Messi.

This motive was commented on by former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, now working on British television.

"I do not know if Neymar really moved to PSG in order to stop being in the shadow of Messi, but I know one thing - all the players are in the shadow of Lionel".

"To get out of the shadows of Messi, Neimar will have to change the sport," - told Henri in an interview with BFMTV.

This season on the account of Neimar 19 goals and 14 assists for PSG in the championship of France.

Lionel Messi scored 24 goals and 14 assists in 20 league matches.
