The former Marseille player says that the Brazil ace is "not a footballing phenomenon" and is more about marketing
Former Marseille midfielder Joey Barton has taken a swipe at Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, claiming that he is “the Kim Kardashian of football”.
Barton won great popularity at Stade Velodrome for his approach on the pitch, while he will have only have earned more credit in the port city for having a pot shot at the biggest star of OM’s great rivals.
Neymar has come under particular focus following PSG’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, which left critics unimpressed.
