According to Football Espana, Neymar was one of the surprise attendees at the celebration party, which was held at a nightclub, to celebrate Barcelona's 27th La Liga title triumph.

The Brazilian forward still shares a strong connection with the Catalan giants, despite leaving the club for a world record fee of €222 million to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

Neymar joined Barcelona in 2013, winning the UEFA Champions League in 2015 as part of La Blaugrana’s attacking trio that included Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Neymar performs PSG transfer U-turn

Meanwhile, Neymar is apparently planning to leave PSG this summer, after shocking fan protests forced him to reconsider his future at the Ligue 1 club, Daily Mirror reports.

The 31-year-old forward appears to be fed up with the constant criticism from Les Parisiens fans since his world-record move to Parc des Princes from Barcelona in 2017.

Several clubs have been linked with an interest in signing the PSG star, with Premier League clubs, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle being the most recent.

Neymar’s reaction to Mbappe’s volley

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Kylian Mbappe starred for Paris Saint-Germain in their comprehensive five-nil triumph against lowly-placed Ajaccio at the Parc des Princes on May 13.

The French star bagged a brace to push the Ligue 1 giants closer to the title, with the win putting some distance between themselves and second-placed Lens, with three games to spare.

Mbappe's volley nearly lifted the roof of the stadium, sending the crowd at the Parc des Princes into a state of euphoria, including Neymar, who is currently sidelined with nursing an injury.
