Neymar provides pre-match show, with PSG debut put on hold
PARIS — After lapping up the adulation at the Parc des Princes for 20 minutes, Neymar whipped up fans into an even greater frenzy by removing his Paris Saint-Germain jersey and tossing it into the crowd.
A scramble ensued as Ultras fans in the Auteuil stand tried to grab the 155 euro ($183) shirt that clung briefly to the torso of the most expensive player in soccer history.
A replacement would not be required on Saturday.
The Brazil forward was only on the pitch to provide the pre-match entertainment before making way for his new teammates to get on with the serious business: opening PSG’s bid to regain the French title.
