Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates took to mocking Erling Haaland’s meditation celebration during a Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund, seemingly in reaction to an image that emerged of the Norwegian on social media.
There were no supporters inside Parc des Princes on Wednesday to witness a 2-0 victory for the Ligue 1 title holders.
Ongoing containment protocols regarding the spread of coronavirus saw a heavyweight European encounter take place behind closed doors.
There was, however, plenty for the Paris natives to celebrate as a crunch clash was turned on its head.
Dortmund arrived in the French capital boasting a narrow one-goal advantage from the first leg but Neymar cancelled that out inside 28 minutes as the Brazil international forward broke the deadlock in the return date.
After finding the target, the South American decided to poke fun at a rival leading the line for Dortmund.
He put his fingers together in meditation pose, with that celebration having become the calling card of prolific Norwegian frontman Haaland.
The trolling from PSG was then taken a step further at the full-time whistle.
By then, Thomas Tuchel’s side were toasting a place in the quarter-finals, with Juan Bernat having grabbed their second goal of the night on the stroke of half-time.
A forgettable evening for Dortmund saw them finish with 10 men, as their European dreams were dashed, with Emre Can seeing red late on.
