What Szoboszlai once told Neymar to silence Brazilian superstar

Liverpool-bound Dominik Szoboszlai is not only a talented and skilful player - he also has bags of confidence.

Back in 2021, RB Leipzig won a penalty in the injury time of the Champions League against PSG.

The German side was 2-1 down after 90 minutes, so a converted penalty would earn them a point.

Szoboszlai was the man to take it, even though the then-21-year-old only joined the side less than a year before.

No wonder that PSG players, in particular Neymar, tried to put pressure on him.

"Ahh, he was asking me 'are you gonna score'? I said 'yes'," Szoboszlai revealed after the game.

"He said to me 'are you sure?' I said 'yes, I never miss'."

Szoboszlai did not miss indeed, putting the ball into the goalkeeper's right bottom corner.

Should Liverpool need a new penalty-taker, Szoboszlai could throw his hat into the ring.
