Brazilian and Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (PSG) forward Neymar Jr, who has had endured a barrage of criticism for his diving antics in the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia found a way to get back at his haters in a league match in France. Playing in PSG vs Nimes, the 26-year-old got back at trolls who were mocking him with 'crybaby' banner (not a surprising reaction post his World Cup antics). Pictures and video of Neymar celebrating the goal in front of home crowd as well as brutally trolling is indeed some level of savagery at the display by the star footballer.
It's been a rough period for the former Barcelona man with injuries and a below-par World Cup with Brazil but what has gone against him the most has been his play acting. The sight of Neymar rolling on the floor against the slightest of touch from the opposition players were quite common in the World Cup.

Playing away at Nimes, Neymar was constantly heckled and jeered by the home fans in order to unsettle him. But, it is difficult to keep the Brazilian quite for a long time and his moment to payback came in the 36th minute. Fullback Thomas Meunier played a beautiful cross across the face of the goal which was put in the back of the net by the Brazilian forward. Post scoring, Neymar went straight for a banner put up by a section of fans calling him a crybaby and posed in front of it. He also mimicked a baby crying to rile up the home fans even more who greeted him with boos.

PSG ran out 2-4 winners against Nimes with Kylian Mbappe playing a vital role. Neymar’s hilarious troll of the fans is going viral on the internet and looks like the Brazilian will be the most hated figure in the town for years to come if he stays at PSG. With the interest of Real Madrid cooling in his signature, expect more feisty reception for the forward when he faces Nimes next time around.
