Imagine the scene. You're about to score your fourth goal of the game from the penalty spot. Your team is already winning 7-0 and you convert from 12 yards to make it 8-0.
The crowd then proceed to boo you, but there's a reason why Neymar received a negative response from the Paris Saint-Germain crowd last night and once again, it relates to teammate and fellow striker Edinson Cavani.
During the club's comprehensive win over Dijon, the world's most expensive player was whistled by his own fans after he didn't allow Cavani to take the penalty that would have made him PSG's all-time top scorer.
Neymar may have produced one of his best performances at the Parc des Princes since his move from Barcelona, but the Brazilian was said to be upset after fans reacted badly to his penalty decision.

That being said, teammate Thiago Silva spoke about the incident after the final whistle and confirmed that Neymar was 'not angry':
"No, I do not think he was angry when he left," Silva told Canal+.
"There was some of the supporters against him, but the most important thing is the final score and the win. And for Edi, the record will come.
Lionel Messi's tribute to Neymar after he left for PSG was incredible...
Silva continued, saying: "He scores all the time, there are still a lot of games to play this year, he will beat all records."
Plenty went against Silva's words and claimed he was upset by the boos.
