Neymar Branded the Biggest Flop in Football History Following Poor Display in PSG’s Defeat

• Brazil superstar Neymar has been slammed for failing to turn up for Paris Saint-Germain
• PSG suffered their second loss in three weeks after a shock Ligue 1 defeat against Rennes
• The Brazilian has failed to score since returning to PSG after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Neymar has been receiving heavy backlash from Paris Saint-Germain supporters, after another underwhelming performance for the Ligue 1 champions.

The Brazilian star was part of PSG's starting XI alongside Lionel Messi, as they lost their most recent league game to Rennes 1-0 on Sunday, sparking fans to turn on the Selecao star.

According to journalist, Daniel Riolo, the 30-year-old forward has failed to find his spark after the World Cup, and slammed Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to the Parisians, Sportskeeda reports.

"He made fun of all the PSG supporters by having a good half-season, because he had a World Cup to prepare for. In terms of recruitment, transfer, salary, it's the biggest flop in the history of football."
