Neymar produces ‘shameless dive’ against Gamba Osaka in pre-season match

Really, Neymar? Really?

Neymar produced a 'shameless dive' during Paris Saint-Germain's pre-season friendly against Gamba Osaka on Monday. The Parisians secured a 6-2 victory over the Japanese side, with Pablo Sarabia, Neymar, Nuno Mendes, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé all getting on the scoresheet. Neymar's first goal of the game - which took place at the Suita City Stadium - came from the penalty spot, but the way he won the spot-kick was incredibly controversial. The Brazilian star drove forward inside the penalty area before faking back, seemingly waiting for contact from a Gamba Osaka defender. However, Genta Miura pulled his foot away after going to ground for a challenge, and there didn't appear to be any contact with the former Barcelona man. https://twitter.com/nocontextfooty/status/1551525684249600005?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1551525684249600005%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportbible.com%2Ffootball%2Fneymar-psg-gamba-osaka-dive-20220725 Despite this, Neymar still threw himself to the ground before rolling towards the camera in agony. Although Miura and his teammates pleaded his case, the referee pointed to the spot and award PSG a penalty.
