Neymar has criticised Paris Saint-Germain’s handling of his recent injury after scoring in the 2-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund, which leaves the French club facing the prospect of another early Champions League exit.<\/p>\n
After missing four games in the last fortnight with a rib injury, the Brazilian superstar looked short of match fitness in Tuesday’s last-16, first-leg, defeat at Dortmund.<\/p>\n
Norwegian goal-machine Erling Braut Haaland scored twice to make him the Champions League joint top-scorer, but Neymar gave PSG a lifeline for the second leg in Paris on March 11.<\/p>\n
He tapped home for what could prove a crucial away goal after being set up by France striker Kylian Mbappe in the second half.<\/p>\n
Neymar, the world’s most expensive player, was critical of the French league champions for not letting him play more before Tuesday’s clash.<\/p>\n
“It’s hard to go four games without playing,” said Neymar.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately it wasn’t my choice, it was the choice of the club, of the doctors, they made that decision, which I didn’t like.<\/p>\n
“We had a lot of discussions about it because I wanted to play, I felt good, but the club was afraid and in the end it was me who suffered.”<\/p>\n
Big-spending PSG are desperate to avoid exiting the Champions League at the first knockout round for a fourth season in a row.<\/p>\n
“It was a tough game, but we have to do what we can in the return game,” Neymar, 28, told reporters.<\/p>\n
“Playing now at home is the best thing in the world, we have 90 minutes to do something.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
