“I Helped Messi Take Penalties” – Neymar Shares Training Ground Story
Neymar has revealed that he once gave Lionel Messi a lesson on how to take penalties during their time at Barcelona.
Speaking on the Podpah podcast, the Brazilian star shared how the former Barça captain approached him during training, asking for advice on spot kicks.
“I was like, ‘Are you crazy? You’re Messi! If I can do it, you can too,’” Neymar recalled, surprised that one of football’s greatest players would seek his help.
Known for his technical brilliance and composed penalty-taking style, Neymar took the time to guide Messi, who then practiced based on his advice.
The two later reunited at PSG, but Neymar’s story proves that even the best players never stop learning.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
