PSG is going through a bit of a difficult spell right now. They are hit by a series of crucial injuries to the first eleven players. Although they are still five points clear on the top of the Ligue 1 table, they have had a fair share of recent bad results. Amid all this, PSG Starman Neymar had a dressing room feud with his teammates and coaching staff. And as always, fans haven’t failed to throw a little bit of sarcasm into the scene.
PSG are facing a possible crisis as they suffered back-to-back domestic losses. Things are looking difficult for the French champions ahead of their season-defining round of 16 Champion League clash against Bayern Munich. PSG has had a difficult second half of the season after the World Cup break in December. Lionel Messi however made a big impact after coming back to the squad. But his recent injury scare has been negative.

PSG rarely loses Ligue 1 matches. But they have suffered two losses on the bounce. After beating Pays de Cassal by a whopping seven goals, Marseille knocked PSG out of the Coupe de France from the round of 16 stage by a 2-1 scoreline. Things went south on Saturday as Monaco dislodged a poor PSG side by a resounding 3-1 scoreline. And this loss has angered their Brazilian talisman, Neymar Jr.
Twitter reacts as Neymar Jr. had a major fallout in the PSG dressing room
According to a report by L’Equipe, the Brazilian superstar took things a bit further in the dressing room. Third-positioned Monaco played around an injury-riddled PSG team and closed their gap with second-placed Marseille. Neymar Jr. was seemingly very upset on the pitch but he also took it outside the pitch.
⌛️ The match is over.

Neymar reportedly had a go with his teammate Portuguese international Vitinha. He was upset with Vitinha for not playing forward passes to him from the midfield. It was also reported that he didn’t leave young Hugo Ekitike as well. Neymar showed his frustration with Ekitike, who was playing in absence of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi for his poor decision-making.
The PSG fans and the wider media fanbase however smelt something different in the matter. As soon as L’Equipe reported this, the fans went on to suspect that the Brazilian is letting his employers know that he is not happy at the club and looking for options.
🚨 Neymar clashed with team-mates before being involved in a heated dressing room row with PSG chief Luis Campos following Saturday’s defeat at Monaco.

Not surprised. It’s February. The only good news we hear about him in February is it’s birthday.

After he had a go at his young teammates, he and Marquinhos fired back at Luis Campos. Campos criticized players for carrying a poor attitude and zero aggressiveness in their game. Both the Brazilians flinched at the assistant coach. PSG needs their star Brazilian in this crisis time and they will hope to see Neymar’s positive attitude on and off the pitch very soon.
