Liverpool fullback Robertson calls on ref to watch Neymar antics

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson has called on match officials to keep an eye on Neymar's antics ahead of their Champions League opener against PSG.

While Robertson is aware of the PSG man's undoubted talent, he accepts only referee Cuneyt Cakir and his fellow officials can stamp out any simulation.

Asked how Neymar will be received by Reds supporters, the Scottish defender said: “That's not up to me, it's the fans. What I do know is that he's a world-class player and we need to be wary of him.

“His skills speak for themselves. Yeah, people say he goes down to easily, but that's not up to us. It's up to the referee to decide. We'll stay away from that.

“For us, we've got to concentrate on the qualities. Unfortunately for us, he has a lot of them. It's one player that we'll have to be wary of. The bad thing for us is that they've got quite a lot of players that we'll have to be wary of.

“On the other side, a good thing for us is that we've got a lot of players that can cause them problems."
