Dani Alves soundtrack not enough to lift PSG's Neymar blues - Ligue 1 goes social

The Brazilian was in typically joyful mood this week - at least he was prior to the injury that could see his colleague miss their Madrid clash

Paris Saint-Germain might have eased to a 3-0 victory over Marseille on Sunday, but it was not a positive evening for the Ligue 1 leaders, who saw Neymar carried off in the second half on a stretcher.

The Brazilian, who scored the second before setting up the third for Edinson Cavani, twisted his ankle as he challenged Bouna Sarr in midfield late-on. His right ankle gave out from underneath him and, after significant treatment, he was withdrawn, apparently in a good deal of pain.
