Real Madrid hero Breitner slams Al-Hilal signing Neymar: A fake player

Germany great Paul Breitner has taken aim at Neymar over his move to A-Hilal.

The Brazil captain left PSG for Al-Hilal a week ago for €100m.

Former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder Breitner scoffed on Blickpunkt Sport: "Thank you, dear Saudis, for having bought Mr. Neymar, who in recent years has been one of the most fake players under the sun.

"One of the great players who has only done theatre.

"A false microbe. You have to be thankful for not having to put up with him anymore."
