Neymar mimicked Erling Haaland's celebration after scoring the PSG opener
NEYMAR and the entire Paris Saint-Germain squad mocked Erling Haaland after dumping Borussia Dortmund out of the Champions League.
The Brazilian forward, 28, headed home early on at an empty Parc des Princes and taunted his rival striker by imitating him.
Haaland scored twice as Dortmund beat PSG 2-1 in Germany, with Neymar scoring their only goal that night.
Last month, Norwegian wonderkid Haaland celebrated by sitting on the pitch and pretending to meditate.
Clearly still bitter from the first-leg defeat, Neymar decided to do exactly the same after giving his side an early lead.
They do say imitation is the highest form of flattery.
But Neymar and PSG did not just stop there.
As the full-time whistle blew, the entire squad took to the pitch and ALL did the meditating celebration.
The raucous celebrations then continued into the dressing room, where Kylian Mbappe filmed the players continuing to celebrate with Haaland's move.
PSG players later went out to a balcony on the stadium and celebrated with thousands of fans who had gathered down below.
Left-back Layvin Kurzawa even went out of the stadium to be with the fans - potentially putting his team-mates at risk of catching coronavirus.
After Neymar's stunt, fans on Twitter couldn't get enough of the "pettiness".
One wrote: "Neymar going the petty route by doing the Haaland celebration."
Another tweeted: "Just seen that Neymar made his version of Haaland’s celebration looooool."
A third added: "Hahahahaha Neymar mocking Haaland you love to see it."
And Neymar was clearly in playful mood on the evening in the French capital.
Ahead of the game, the Brazilian applauded an empty stadium - with the game behind played behind closed doors due to fears over coronavirus.
