João Neves faces reduced playing time at PSG

Portuguese midfielder João Neves is experiencing a decline in performance and playing time at Paris Saint-Germain. After being a regular starter for several months, reports indicate he has temporarily fallen in the club's hierarchy under manager Luis Enrique.

Statistical data highlights a decrease in his influence on the game. Neves has seen a drop in his ability to break defensive lines compared to teammates such as Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Warren Zaïre-Emery. His offensive contribution has also diminished, with his last goal for the club occurring in late April during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

This dip in form has impacted his role in major fixtures; notably, he played only 15 minutes during PSG's recent 4-2 victory against Manchester City. While his physical activity remains valued, his recent performances have raised questions ahead of upcoming matches against Strasbourg and FC Barcelona.
