Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar Jr has found himself on the receiving end after he appeared to dive during his side's pre-season friendly clash against Gamba Osaka.

PSG proved too hot to handle from the blow of the whistle, with their dominance earning them the lead via Pablo Sarabia in the 28th minute.

However, to double their lead, the French side had to rely on a theatrical move from Neymar, who appeared to dive to win a penalty.

The ex-Barca ace stepped up to convert the resulting spot-kick before he completed his brace in the 60th minute.

However, his decision to throw himself to the floor after what seemed as minimal contact did not go down well with fans who took to social media to slam the forward.
