Brazil
superstar Neymar and his club Paris Saint-Germain are all set to meet Liverpool
in the group stage of Europe's elite club competition, the Champions League.
The French giants also drew with Napoli and Red Star

At the Poker Stars event, Neymar was quizzed by The
Express about who he thought would win the Premier League. As the Brazilian
does not speak much English, his friend managed to do his best to translate and
get Neymar's opinion out.
The Paris Saint-Germain star seems to think that Pep
Guardiola's Manchester City side will become the first side to win consecutive
Premier League titles since Manchester United in 2011. The champions side
currently also includes his Brazil international's teammates Fernandinho,
Gabriel Jesus and Ederson.
When asked about who he thinks will finish top four,
Neymar said, "It's very hard, it's very difficult, but Manchester City
will win it".
"Second will be United, third is Chelsea. Fourth is
Tottenham."

having gained all points from their opening four fixtures after a great start
to the season.
Liverpool fans have since taken to Twitter to speak their
minds on the decision:
