Ex-Barcelona stars Stoichkov, Dugarry slam Neymar: He spat at PSG!

Former Barcelona stars Hristo Stoichkov and Christophe Dugarry have taken aim at PSG ace Neymar.

Stoichkov believes the only reason Neymar quit Barca for PSG was to play under the nose of the Ballon d'Or judges at France Football.

The Bulgarian great told Radio Marca: "Paris Saint-Germain is closer to France Football, the newspaper that gives the Ballon d'Or. Perhaps he may have thought that by being at PSG he would be closer to winning the Ballon d'Or?"

Meanwhile, Dugarry has slammed Neymar for skipping PSG's title winning victory over AS Monaco.

The World Cup winner blasted on RMC: "How can Neymar not be there for the league title match? How can we give him the leader's label when he does not come to share that? How can PSG accept something like that? How can you look at your teammates?

"He's spat at the club, if I was playing at Barça, I would have returned without any problem. These players are a collective that wins matches, they are never individuals, and you can't believe that PSG can win the Champions League with attitudes like that..."
