Neymar throws lavish birthday party, Tuchel labels it a "distraction"

Neymar Jr. Neymar Jr.

Brazilian star, Neymar, threw a massive all-white party on Sunday night to celebrate his birthday, even though he does not turn 28 until Wednesday.

However, club manager, Thomas Tuchel, described it as a "distraction"

A host of PSG stars turned up all dressed in white to grace the occasion held at Yoyo club – barely half a mile from the Eiffel Tower.

Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and ex-Manchester United ace Ander Herrera turning out in force despite the heavy rain.

Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes both turned up early for the event.



Ex- Manchester United player, Memphis Depay, who now plays for Lyon, also turned up.

Mauro Icardi with Icardi’s wife Wanda Nara, Marco Verratti, Marcin Bulka, Thiago Silva and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting all arrived dressed head-to-toe in white, as did Neymar Senior.

None of the club's hierarchy turned up for the event.

Here is what Tuchel had to say about the party:

"The substitution of Kylian or Ney‘s birthday are distractions.

“It gives the impression that we are not serious.

“It gives the impression that we are not 100 per cent focused and professional.

"But things are not either black or white. They become important when we talk about them a lot," Tuchel said.
