NEYMAR played a massive hand in Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 triumph – but he was playing poker during their title party.
The Brazilian is back in his homeland as he continues his recovery from a broken foot.
And as his team-mates were sealing the title with a 7-1 win over Monaco, their superstar was gambling online.

Meanwhile, Neymar has confirmed his arrival caused a rift with record goalscorer Edinson Cavani.
He told Globo TV: “People make a bigger thing of what happened.

“Of course, there was a certain tension, a friction with Cavani, but we sorted it quickly — three days after it happened.
“We are two big players, but we are also people and we had to sort this out personally, without telling anyone. But the reports were exaggerated.”
