Oxford dictionary defines a chain reaction as “a series of events, each of which causes the next” - Neymar’s move to PSG set off a chain reaction that led to Liverpool winning the Premier League.
As Nick Miller explains Neymar’s transfer was a move no one was prepared for, least of all Barcelona.

@CreatorOfGods you don’t put limits on money value, you do not regulate pricing. What needs to happen is free market enterprises. It create a vast amount of competition and brings down pricing naturally because of other parties involved. Good players would be available at around 35 million Euros instead of around 80-90. The problem everyone faces now is inflation. Paying more than they should because if government intervention. Same goes for the housing market with exceptions of course.

Controlled markets is like communism my friend. It has never worked and never will. Don’t forget the 150 million slaughtered by the way. Anyway, in a free market prices would drop. The housing market earlier is simple. It’s all supply and demand. The more houses the cheaper the price. The less houses available then the higher the prices because demand is high and supply is low. Correlate that into soccer players and price, availability, etc...

[@archdukefranzferdinand567]

​@@SimoNemo7 The housing market and football player market are literally the exact opposite. The housing market has regulations for houses but doesn't care how you get your money, the football market has minimal regulations for players, but a lot of regulation on how the money is made.

[@mariomagnuson9159]

This is a very pro-Neymar depiction of his time at PSG. While they did make the final I wouldn’t say one final appearance after a few years of disappointing early exits qualifies as a success, especially when Marquinhos is scoring the important goals. Similarly, he’s been injured for large chunks of time and has often been outshone my Mbappe who isn’t mentioned once. As a non PSG fan I view PSG as both Mbappe and Neymars team, not just Neymars.

[@DefinitelyNotJoao]

Fair, but the only time he *wasnt'* injured, they made the final. Also he was the best player in the wins against Dortmund, Atalanta and Leipzig. I do agree that Neymar and Mbappe are almost equal in status at PSG, though.

[@bruv4934]

Neymar was the orchestrator to barcas 2015 ucl. His performance against Juventus and that remontada. He was the joint top scorer with messi and ronaldo. But messi got all the plaudits and and even won the ballondor. This stupidity of barca fans giving all the plaudits to messi and making the mannager and the president the scapegoats will cost them a lot. The 'fat' suarez who they made the scapegoat for messi not being able to run and make passes, has now 5 goals in laliga for athleti. If this trend continues, nobody can save barca anytime soon. Neymar realised this and left on time. Barca fans called him a snake and made fun of him and now they want the same neymar back. But the sad reality is they wont be able to get him anymore and it was a wise decision from neymars side. Neymar performs great in clutch situations and thats what they always needed. See how Barca's true fall started after neymar left, not even xavi and iniesta.

[@kingkingf]

Actually barcas downfall began in the first leg against psg before the remontada. Everybody seems to forget that. This was the beginning of the downfall

Unfortunately neymar got a downward spiral as well. He was surrounded by younger players that was less dissaplined then the barca players and throws parties instead of practicing. Now he's in the shadow of mbappe. Weird how he's supposed to be in his peak and win the ballon'dor, but instead he's is now overshadowed by a 22 year old.

What I find more amazing is Neymar’s incredible recovery from his deformed arms voodoo curse.

[@edmann1820]

All of these comments that this ruined the transfer market. They said the same about Trevor Francis being the first £1m player. Or, Alan Shearer for £15m. They said the same about Figo and Zidane only a year apart. The transfer market has been wildly inflating since the 1960's. Neymar is just the same as the rest. If anything it's less shocking than those transfers were.
