Paris Saint-Germain secured the Ligue 1 crown on Sunday but Neymar attracted a lot of criticism for not being in the city with his team-mates as he chose another way to celebrate the victory.

PSG thrashed second-placed Monaco 7-1 to write their names at the top of France's illustrious division for the seventh time in the club's history but talisman Neymar could not be seen in the capital to join in with celebrations.

In fact, whilst continuing his recovery from an ankle injury in his native Brazil, the forward showed his followers on his social media account how he was watching the important game.

From a picture on his Instagram story, the PSG-Monaco match can be seen in the background as Neymar enjoys a spot of online poker. Although this didn't go down well with fans.

Some users accused the 26-year-old of displaying little committment to his team, so in response, Neymar posted a supportive message to PSG congratulating them on their achievement: "I wanted so much to be closer with you guys. Congratulations!!!!! ALLEZ PARIS".
