Neymar's 'crybaby' goal celebration

Neymar focused plenty of attention on Saturday night in Ligue 1.

PSG travelled to newly promoted Nimes in the French top flight.

Nimes held out for 36 minutes before Neymar broke the deadlock.

The Brazilian slid the ball into the net from close range after he met a low ball into the mixer.

Immediately after scoring, Neymar ran off to the sidelines.

The Brazilian had spotted a banner in the Nimes crowd labelling him a crybaby.

So what did Neymar do? He played into the stereotype to mock his haters.

Neymar ran over the the sidelines pretending to cry. And then he posed right next to the banner, despite thousands of Nimes fans screaming abuse in his direction.

Nimes 2 – PSG 4

A few minutes after Neymar opened the scoring, Argentine Angel Di Maria doubled the PSG lead.

However Nimes hit back after the hour mark. Antonin Bobichon gave the hosts a foothold in the contest, before a Teji Savanier penalty levelled the match at 2-2.

But PSG killed the match with further goals from Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.
