After controversy surrounding his birthday party and his absence from training ahead of Le Classique, Neymar has spoken out on his behaviour.
The Brazilian was on the bench for Paris Saint-Germain against Marseille, coming on to win 2-0.
"This is a very peculiar topic because who doesn't like to go to party?" Neymar responded, when speaking to club media.
"Everyone likes to have fun, go out with friends, with family, I know when I can go, when I can do it, when I can't.
"It's the total opposite of what people think, that I'm immature, that I don't know what I'm doing.
"If you are 100 percent focused only on playing football, in my way of thinking and being, I'd explode and that's why I'd never stop doing it."
He also spoke about his relationship with Kylian Mbappe, a superstar himself.
"Practically we're brothers, I'm the big brother and he's the little brother," he joked.
"He's a guy made of gold, that's what I call him, he has an enormous heart and it's not necessary to talk about his footballing talent."
The former Barcelona man also explained his happiness in Paris.
"I'm very happy, something has changed a lot, I don't think I can say exactly what, but I know it," he said.

I think Ney can be classified as a successful football player. He’s won every trophy with club side i.e Copa Lebertadores, UCL, and so many league trophies. He has won a gold medal with Brazil at the Olympics and other trophies 🏆🏆🏆. So Neymar is good to go!!

If somebody earn so much they need reason to spend as well.. Moreover it's his personal life and no body should have any problem in that.
