Paris Saint-Germainā€˜s takeover by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011 turned the French side around. Thiago Silva was one of the first big-name signings the club made thanks to the financial takeover, which eventually let them land the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi.

The Brazilian defender became a fan favorite during his eight-year stint at the Parc des Princes, being the team’s captain and helping PSG become the European heavyweight it is today.

Unlike the veteran center-back, Ney and Leo left the French capital in bad terms. The former Barcelona duo’s reunion didn’t go to plan and now both are playing outside Europe. Silva, however, seems to think his former club made a mistake by letting them go.
