Neymar’s dream five-a-side team featured Messi who he now plays with at PSG – but he picked Pogba over a keeper
DREAMS do come true – or at least they do for Neymar.
When asked to pick his perfect five-a-side selection earlier this year he selected Lionel Messi – and now he’s been re-united with him at PSG.
But the Brazilian forgot to select a goalkeeper.
Kylian Mbappe and Eden Hazard made the cut as the Brazilian insisted upon a forward thinking setup that leaves Paul Pogba as the most defensive player.
In fairness, any side facing such a team would probably never get the ball off them anyway.
Another of Neymar’s former Barcelona colleagues Luis Suarez features with Mbappe also joining the winger.
No Brazil stars were selected by the 29-year-old because he was asked not to in the chat with Red Bull.
Neymar also selected a five-a-side team based on retired players and that too showed disregard for all things defence.
Four Premier League players were called up: Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham.
Spanish playmaker legend Xavi completed that quintet as once again a goalkeeper went missing.

Neymar could soon be playing alongside both Mbappe and Messi for real.
Messi is due to make his debut for PSG – possibly against Brest tonight.
When he does, it will be arguably the most lethal looking attack ever combined.
