Neymar said goodbye to Lionel Messi after his team-mate played his last game for PSG, and it looks like he's had a dig at the club.
At one point, it was suggested that the main reason why Neymar decided to leave Barcelona was to step out of Messi's shadow and try to win the Ballon d'Or.
Of course, that didn't happen and the only one of them to win the trophy since they both arrived at the club was Messi, although it was more because of his success in the Copa America than anything. what he did in Paris.
In fact, it's been a rough time for both men in the French capital, whose time together came to an end after Saturday's loss to Clermont Food.

Of course, Neymar was absent due to injury as usual, but Messi played and was booed after missing an opportunity to give the home team a 3-2 lead.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was seen smiling to himself as he left the Parc des Princes for the last time at the end of the game. His attacking partner Kylian Mbappe parted ways as the Ligue 1 trophy was lifted, but Neymar had to say goodbye on social media.

In his post, the Brazilian said that 'it didn't turn out the way we thought but we tried', which seems like a criticism of the club.

The 31-year-old has certainly failed to live up to expectations or value since leaving the Nou Camp in 2017 for a record £198m fee.
He is frequently injured at the most crucial moments of the season and that affects the team's chances of winning the Champions League. Advertisement
The addition of Messi didn't help either and the World Cup winner didn't dominate the French top flight as many thought.
The club lost a lot of 'fans' when the 35-year-old Argentine's departure was announced due to his social media appearances.
He is expected to report to Saudi Arabia or Barcelona when the season resumes in August, with the journey to track Cristiano Ronaldo now ahead.
Neymar's future with Les Parisiens is also in doubt, with the former Santos star most closely linked to Manchester United.
