FOOTBALL Friend indeed: How Neymar helped reduce prison sentence of jailed ex-Barcelona defender Dani Alves
Brazil superstar Neymar played a role in ensuring his friend and ex-team-mate Dani Alves was not jailed for a long time following his four-and-a-half-year sentence over sexual assault.
The post, which Neymar endorsed with a laugh, underscored his superior scoring record, boasting two goals in a single match - a 4-0 thrashing of Nantes in the French Super Cup.
This was just before Neymar's high-profile transfer to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. Meanwhile, Dembele's solitary goal since leaving Barcelona for a hefty €50 million (£43m/$55m) fee starkly highlights his challenges in finding the back of the net.

Comparing the Contrasting Fortunes
Dembele's journey at PSG has been under the microscope, with his contributions standing at one goal and seven assists across 20 Ligue 1 games.
This is a far cry from Neymar's glittering tally of 118 goals in 173 appearances before his exit. Although Neymar's current season has been marred by an ACL injury that sidelined him since October, the focus remains firmly on Dembele's quest to rediscover his scoring boots.

Dembele's goal drought extends over a 12-match sequence, a concerning statistic for PSG's ambitions and the French forward's confidence.
However, an opportunity for redemption looms as PSG prepares to lock horns with Monaco in Ligue 1. With Dembele having found the net in their previous encounter last November, hopes are high for a return to form.
