Neymar was jeered by Paris St-Germain fans after he denied Edinson Cavani the chance to become the club's all-time top scorer during the Ligue 1 side's rout of mid-table Dijon. Cavani's first-half strike saw him draw level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 156 goals in all competitions for PSG. The hosts led by 4-0 at half-time and Neymar had already completed a hat-trick before PSG were awarded a penalty. However, the Brazilian's decision to take the spot-kick instead of allowing Cavani to take it resulted in whistles from the home crowd, but coach Unai Emery defended him after the match. "I think Neymar took the penalty because it was also a good day for him," Emery said. "We're happy with it. But there will be lots more chances for Cavani to score more goals." PSG defender Thomas Meunier described it as "a bit of a shame and a bit ungrateful" but acknowledged that Neymar was his side's penalty taker. "He co

OFFICIAL: Barca Agree Record €160m Deal for Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho will become Barcelona’s most expensive signing after a deal worth €160 million was agreed with Liverpool, which is the new British transfer record. La Liga’s leaders will part with €120m as a guaranteed base fee, with another €40m in performance and appearance-related add-ons that are expected to be triggered. The 25-year-old will move ahead of Ousmane Dembele as Barca’s highest-cost recruit, also surpassing Paul Pogba as the biggest player trade involving an English club. Liverpool failed in their exhaustive efforts to convince Coutinho, who did not travel with the squad to a warm-weather camp in Dubai , to remain on Merseyside until the end of the season at the very least. He is now the third most expensive footballer in the world, behind Paris Saint-Germain pair Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.   MORE
