Former France international Christophe Dugarry has torn into Neymar for not being present while his Paris Saint-Germain teammates secured the Ligue 1 title.
The Parisians were crowned champions after running riot against last season’s champions Monaco in an emphatic 7-1 win.
However, Neymar was nowhere to be seen, as he is in Brazil recovering from an injury.
While his absence was criticized enough, he caused a lot more controversy with his social media posts during the game.

The Brazilian uploaded a story on Instagram which showed his side’s game on the TV in the background, but he seemed more interested in a game of online poker on his laptop.

He was then slammed by Christophe Dugarry, who claimed that he would have ‘returned with no problem’ if this scenario had taken place while he was still at Barcelona.
“How could Neymar not be there with his teammates with the title at stake?” Duggary asked on RMC Sport. “They’ve given him the role of leader and he doesn’t even come to share in the win?
“How is it possible that PSG can accept that? How can he look his teammates in the eye when he behaves that way? He’s spitting on the club. I think it is outrageous.
“If he was at Barcelona, he would have returned with no problem. If I was at PSG, I’d be very angry.”
