Who cares. Haaland deserved it for his stupid post and generally for joining Dortmund.

Brazilian foreigner in France telling someone to go back to their country. Interesting.
Don't think he did, that's just twitter being twitter, I checked Neymar instagram, he said "Paris our city, not yours"

Neymar is a talented player but he really is a dog.
I have never seen a player go down so easily and just writhe around in pretended agony.
Some will call it sportsmanship but I just think he is a sad excuse for a man.

Haaland should take it as a compliment.

The fact that it's got under their skin so easily.
Well he got so under their skin they won the tie and he couldn't do much in the second leg.

And he deserved the respond to be fair. Not sure if getting involved in petty barbs is necessary really.

Bit OTT? Have you missed the pantheon of players who dive/feign injury like Busquets, Di Maria or the ones who kick their opponents with an intention to hurt? Even we had Ronaldo who used to dive but we clamped down on it.

I don't especially like Neymar but he also rides a lot of challenged and gets kicked around more than most. That does take some bravery too.

Neymar has an aura of a baby around him. You can see it spreading to Mbappé and Di Maria quite easily with their soft personas. I really hate this when grown men act like they are idiots.

If there is a next round please let them face Atlético with Simeone doing this celebration at the end of the tie.

Yet another answer to the question of why he'll never be on Ronaldo and Messi's level despite having the talent to do so. Overgrown child who will most likely end up with less CL winner's medal than Haaland when both of their careers are over.
He, in no way on this earth, is anywhere near as talented! A show pony that should be compared to the likes of Joe Cole and JJ Okocha

The goal celebration was ok, and deserved. But the whole team after the game and then again in the dressing room? Seems too much to me.

Cringe stuff from PSG, but Haaland asked for it. The funniest thing is that a 19 year old can so easily get under the skin of an entire squad :rolleyes:

The outrage is odd, I bloody loved it when Bruno shushed Pep or Young launched AdM into the advertising boards, if our players did this to a rival we’d find it hilarious.

There's a reason they keep bottling it every year and that is entirely down to mentality. They're an extremely fragile bunch.

Dortmund played it into PSG's hands with their lame and defensive set up. If they had played their normal game on the front foot, PSG would probably have caved in as they usually do at this stage of the competition.

Don’t dish it if you can’t take it.

I do hate PSG though it’s a good job they’re irrelevant most of the time, hopefully they’ll get knocked out next round.

Correct, who cares.

The other guy mocked them, so they beat them and told him to stfu.
I don't know when football became all about being magnanimous and all that shite. Sport should have a bit of edge to it, there's no fun watching two teams "respect" each other, shithousery is far more fun.

There's an opportunity for the next team that will inevitably knock those stupid wankers out in the next round to do the same type of shit to them. Plastic, shite club, cnut players, corrupt owners, what's not to like really.

As a Haaland fan, this was really funny. Love me some good banter.

I have 0 problems with this whatsoever.

I think when they go out in the 1/4 finals, as they do, we should start a viral meme, we can all do the celebration and tweet it to the club, Neymar, and whatever other jackasses are in that video.

Wouldn't it be great if thousands upon thousands were doing it?

Football players are so childish these days, seriously. Both sides are embarrassing

Haaland motivated PSG, that's for sure. I know the players should be motivated like that already, but some need that extra motivation

I don’t see what the big deal with this is? Haaland threw some banter at them with the “My city, not yours” post and PSG threw some back? It’s just banter between players, is it not?

I very much doubt Haaland cares about this, and off the field he’s probably friends with/will be friends with some of the PSG players very soon, as a lot of players generally are.

Didn't know this was the trigger.


Dont think Neymar uploaded with that caption, it was just "Paris our city, not yours".
Fair enough then. Haaland has become this golden boy that can do no wrong for some reason.

Classic case of chat sh**t, get banged.

If not for the generic hate that people have for PSG and its owners, this would have been just a banter. Social and print media did expect PSG to be Haaland'ed royally, but PSG came up with a plan and managed to keep him silent and sent Dortmund packing.

I believe Haaland can take what he dishes out as well. He doesn't become a top banter in morning and become a poor innocent kid at night.
This.

Unreal. The state of football is a joke; we have fans calling the game soft but also calling neymar a bully for nothing but banter.

As if Ronaldo and Messi are made out to seem like some angelic entities, this has nothing to do with Neymars inability to replicate the consistency and level of those two.

Caf really makes me cringe sometimes.

Maybe take a look at some footage of players like Best or Maradona and the punishment they took and just got up and went harder. I think Ronaldo worked out it was not a good look to feign injury playing in England and it probably had a lot to do with making him the man he is today and the respect he has in the game by cutting it out.
Players are seen from every angle these days so fans can see what goes on so if they just do the right thing and Man up then it makes the game better as a spectacle as well.

What did Haaland do on social media other than celebrating like he did on the pitch? PSG look like a right bunch of cnuts doing that to a 19 year old
Less of the 'look like,' please! I find it inaccurate!

They are a bunch of cnuts

We all love United
Didn’t know Neymar has so much loyalty to Paris when he’s trying to get out of there every summer ever since he got there to go back to Barcelona
