It seems the new manager at PSG Christophe Galtier has unlocked something incredibly scary in the Brazilian.

Neymar was at it again on Saturday afternoon helping Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain to another win in Paris.

The Brazilian superstar was the hero of the day after his first half goal proved to be the decisive winner as PSG narrowly defeated Stade Brestois 1-0.

Armed by the creativity of his Argentine teammate, Lionel Messi, who supplied the 30-year-old the key pass, Neymar continued his fine form against the stubborn Brest.

As his other goal this season, Neymar's volleyed effort against Brest showed a player enjoying his best for the Paris side.

Penalty miss saves PSG blushes

The defending champions dominated their visitors but struggled to put the ball behind their goalkeeper more than once.

PSG created the chances but were rather profligate against the relegation threatened side who parked the bus all game.

The trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Messi could have opened the scoring in the opening 20 minutes.

PSG has not lost a single game since April 3.
Another important win for PSG.

Neymar finally broke the deadlock after the half-hour mark to put PSG in the lead the end of the first half.

In the second half, the away side got the chance to snatch a point when they were given a penalty when Presnel Kimpembe fouled Noah Fadiga in the box.

However,  Kimpembe and PSG blushes were saved when Algerian international Islam Slimani failed to convert as Donnarumma made a smart save.

PSG has now won each of its last 10 league matches against Brest, and looking really good for the title again after returning to the top. But Marseille is giving them a real challenge after a 2-1 win over LOSC Lille.
