Celtic coach Neil Lennon described Neymar as an annoying player after his side’s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, while praising Brazilian team-mate Kylian Mbappe.
Celtic closed the three-match tournament in France with a 4-0 defeat in the friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
Mbappe gave the home side the lead in the first minute of the match, while Neymar doubled Paris Saint-Germain’s lead in the 25th minute.
PSG made numerous changes to the lineup before the start of the second half, when the French lead deepened to four through goals scored by Ander Herrera and Pablo Sarabia.
Lennon said his team would benefit from the experience of playing against such a high-level rival and he praised his players for the way they faced Neymar.
“He just tries to anger and humiliate the players. I told the players that they should try to maintain discipline and not fall into his trap. He is annoying, He knows that himself,” said Lennon.
“I am a big fan of Kylian Mbappe because I think he is fantastic in terms of his goal and the speed he has. But Paris Saint-Germain has a very good team in all departments of the field.”
