Neymar cost the same amount as Atletico Madrid's most expensive XI

Neymar was given a hero's welcome when he arrived at the Parc des Princes, with his arrival drawing huge crowds and being accompanied by fireworks. The 25-year-old became the most expensive signing in history when he joined PSG for €222m, a fee so large that it could buy an entire team.

According to figures from 'Transfermarkt', Atletico Madrid's entire most expensive XI cost €222m combined. Meaning you could buy an entire first team which counts years of fighting for European and domestic titles against some of the biggest clubs in world football... or you could buy a single player.

The team, using Diego Simeone's favoured 4-4-2 system, consists of, Oblak; Vrsaljko, Savic, Godín, Filipe, Augusto, Gaitán, Vitolo, Carrasco, Griezmann and Gameiro. Koke and Saúl are obviously not included in the club's most expensive XI as they came through the academy system.

These 11 players cost the same amount as PSG paid for just one. Talk about value for money.
