"Like In a WWE Ring": Twitter Accuses Neymar Of Diving During Friendly. Watch

Paris Saint-Germain were in full flow in a pre-season friendly against Gamba Osaka on Monday as they defeated the hosts 6-2. Lionel Messi and Neymar combined to put in a dominant performance. Both stars played the opening 70 minutes of the game and Neymar scored a first-half penalty before setting up a goal for Messi. However, the attention from the match was taken away by Neymar as he dived to make a claim for penalty.

However, the replays indicated that there was a little contact between Neymar and the defender inside the box. Neymar then went on to score the ensuing penalty kick to give his side a 2-0 lead.

Twitter was not impressed with Neymar diving to earn a penalty and many took to the platform to express their views.
