Neymar had been in doubt for Wednesday’s clash after suffering an injury while on international duty with Brazil earlier this month.
But the forward starred, scoring as PSG claimed a 2-1 win to move into second in Group C.
However, the 26-year-old said he was not at full fitness yet, but felt his team needed him in such a big game.
“I was not 100 per cent,” Neymar told reporters, via L’Equipe.
“But it was an important match so, injured or not, I had to be there.”
Neymar’s goal saw him become the all-time leading Brazilian goalscorer in Champions League history with 31.
PSG (eight points) are second to Napoli (nine) in Group C after their win over Liverpool (six), and they are well placed to reach the knockout stage with a trip to Red Star Belgrade (four) to come on the final matchday.
