PSG star Neymar was mocked on social media for his exaggerated reaction after Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin barely touched him to check his physical condition.

It happened in the first half of PSG-Juventus at the Parc des Princes last night.

Neymar had squeezed past Juventus defenders looking for PSG’s third goal, but his run was stopped by the opposing defenders, who made him fall down.

Neymar moaned on the floor for some time and seemed to overreact when Perin checked on his condition by touching his back.

A video showing the incident was shared on Twitter and watched over 110,000 times in barely four hours, receiving hundreds of comments and reactions mocking the Brazilian star who has often been accused of diving in his career.

Kylian Mbappé was decisive against the Bianconeri last night as his brace helped the Ligue 1 giants seal a 2-1 win over the Serie A champions, who found the net through Weston McKennie in the second half.

5 thought on “Video: watch Neymar’s reaction as Perin barely touches him”
  1. You’d have thought he’d change now there is VAR and cameras everything. Petulance is ingrained in Neymar’s psyche. Pathetic.

  2. he’s doing it because he’s allowed to do it
    if refs started giving him yellow cards for diving(like they should be anyway) he would think twice about it if he was sent off a few times because of it

  3. Not to defend Neymar here, but he’s already on the ground holding his back. Perin’s touch has nothing to do here. This whole article is a waste.
