Lukasz Piszczek vs Neymar

Veteran Borussia Dortmund defender Lukasz Piszczek had the measure of Neymar for the majority of the first leg. The 34 year old did an excellent job of marking the Brazilian, taking him out of the game rather effectively.

But the only time Piszczek lost sight of Neymar, he found the back of the net. The PSG superstar is one of the best players in the world and is capable of producing game changing moments for his team on his own. He has all the tools in his locker to embarrass even the best of defenders.

Preventing Neymar from making much of an impact will be one of the Dortmund defenders’ big aim on Wednesday. And if Piszczek can perform like he has in recent weeks, there is no reason why he cannot keep Neymar at bay once again.
