Paris Saint-Germain head to Corsica to take on AC Ajaccio on Friday night, but Neymar Jr. and Sergio Ramos won't be among the champions' number.

"I'm unsatisfied compared to what we did at the Stade Vélodrome last week [a 2-1 win over Olympique de Marseille]. That little brother is 15-year-old wonder-kid Ethan, but PSG's rotation on Friday is unlikely to stretch quite that far. I was just as shocked as everyone else [by claims in the media to the contrary]. "My entourage was at my little brother's game, all the people who take care of me weren't there, so we were flabbergasted when we heard about it.

Why is Neymar in court? PSG, Brazil star on trial over alleged fraud ... (Sporting News)

PSG star Neymar appeared in court on Monday and Tuesday in Spain as part of a decade-old dispute regarding his transfer to La Liga giants Barcelona.

This is a direct response to the DIS allegation that they were defrauded out of millions of euros because of a secret deal between Neymar and Barcelona that eliminated competition for his signature. "All he wants, he said in an interview in his office high above Sao Paulo, is the truth." On Tuesday, Neymar spoke in court about the 2013 transfer from Santos to Barcelona. The lawsuit alleges that Barcelona paid Neymar's family €40 million in 2011 to secure a future transfer when his contract expired in 2014. According to the lawsuit, Sonda fronted Neymar and his family millions of dollars as an investment into Neymar's future, and was never fairly compensated. The case is being heard just two months ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, where Brazil are considered one of the favourites to win the tournament.

Neymar has criticised the Ballon d'Or rankings after Brazil team-mate Vinicius Junior only finished eighth.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is the only one to make the top three since 2006 when he finished behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in 2014. A battle that remains to be won. It seems that scoring a goal is better than stopping it. "I'm not saying I would have won it. Vinicius enjoyed an impressive 2021/22 season with Real Madrid, scoring 21 goals and providing 20 assists in La Liga and the Champions League. I don't know if as a goalkeeper you can do more than what I did last year,” he said.

A Brazilian investment firm is asking for a five-year prison sentence and a fine of at least €10 million from the soccer star over alleged fraud.
