FootballNeymar Snubs PSG Title Celebrations To Play Poker at Monaco Grand Prix
- Neymar was spotted playing poker as his teammates were battling to secure their Ligue 1 title
- PSG's stalemate with Strasbourg was enough to hand them the Ligue 1 title
- Neymar has been out injured since February and is reportedly set to move away from PSG
Neymar Junior chose to play poker at the Monaco Grand Prix instead of joining Paris Saint-Germain in their championship celebrations.
The Brazilian playmaker is known to like playing poker and frequently broadcasts himself participating in internet games live during his off days.
And on Saturday night, the Express reports that the dribbling supremo was spotted playing a round of poker before Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.
The media outlet further states that several members of the F1 media were invited to play with the PSG footballer, amongst other celebrities, but Neymar was the star attraction as they posed for pictures and video with him in the background.
While Neymar was living the high life on the French Riviera, his teammates celebrated their 11th Ligue 1 title, following a 1-1 draw with RC Strasbourg.
PSG win Ligue 1
PSG took the lead on the hour mark thanks to a goal from Lionel Messi, but Strasbourg drew even 11 minutes later on a goal from Kevin Gameiro.
In addition, despite Lens' 3-0 victory over Ajaccio, PSG simply needed to avoid losing to save their title.
At the final whistle, Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Gianluigi Donnarumma were all seen celebrating, but Neymar was conspicuously absent due to an injury.
As reported by Sport Bible, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, and Presnel Kimpembe were seated in the stands even though they weren't playing.
But Neymar obviously had more important things to do than watch his PSG teammates win the title without him.
