Neymar is criticized by the crowd for a “SHAMELESS” dive during PSG’s exhibition match against Gamba Osaka.
During Monday’s friendly match between Gamba Osaka and Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar may have executed the worst dive of his career.
The 6-2 victory by the Ligue 1 champions came after they jumped out to an early 4-1 lead.
In a spectacular 45 minutes, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Nuno Mendes, and Pablo Sarabia all scored goals.
Neymar’s first penalty kick goal and the way he won it were very contentious.
After dropping to the ground for a challenge, Genta Miura withdrew his foot, and if any contact occurred, it was barely felt.
Neymar nonetheless threw himself to the ground and rolled in agony in the direction of the camera despite this.
Despite Miura’s arguments and those of his teammates, the referee pointed to the spot.

Neymar would later score from the penalty spot to extend his team’s lead.
Although the Brazil international is considered as one of his generation’s top players, his antics on the field irritate fans.
Neymar is known for making a meal out of difficulties, and this might be the worst example yet.
The 30-year-old displayed his best qualities in the same game, assisting Messi and scoring twice more in the second half.
Fans’ reactions to the video have been negative.
Why on earth is he diving into a friendly, someone asked?
Another tweeted: “Even so, was it necessary? They had already triumphed.”
“Such a soft player, always writhing around in false anguish,” someone wrote.
Another person continued, “He does this to himself dude,”
With a penalty of his own late in the second half, Kylian Mbappe made it four victories in a row for the new boss Christophe Galtier.
This summer, Neymar’s departure from Parc des Princes has been rumored, and the club is reportedly amenable to it.
The most expensive player in the world is eager to stay despite this.
Last week, he told reporters: “I’d like to remain at the club. I still have a few years left on my contract. The club hasn’t explicitly stated that they want me to go until now.
“To nobody, I have nothing to prove. People are aware of who I am, how I conduct myself on the field, and the nature of my play.
“I don’t have to show my worth. Just playing football will make me happy. There is too much talking. Additionally, they talk excessively since they have no other options.”
