Neymar Skips Out on PSG Season Closer to Return to Brazil Without Thomas Tuchel Authorisation

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar returned home to his native Brazil prior to the club's final Ligue 1 game of the season, without the permission of manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Ligue 1 champions - whose title has been wrapped up since April 21 - were preparing for their final game of the campaign against Reims; a game they lost 3-1 on Friday night.

One notable absentee for the game however was Neymar, who according to Le Parisien (via AS) had missed the club's final training session prior to the game in order to return to his homeland of Brazil – although it's worth noting that he was suspended for the match in any case.
