NEYMAR roared in the face of Joshua Kimmich but denied it was deliberate and burned the confident Bayern Munich star with a stinging dating analogy instead.
The Brazilian’s Paris Saint-Germain side defeated the Champions League holders in the quarter-finals on away goals after a 1-0 win for Bayern in France saw the tie finish 3-3 on aggregate.

At the final whistle of the game – which was a rematch of last season’s final – Neymar erupted with joy with team-mate Leandro Paredes.
The exuberant celebrations took place right in front of a stony-faced Kimmich, who had confidently predicted Bayern’s progression, but the former Barcelona star insisted it was not a retaliation.
Neymar told TNT Sports Brasil: “It’s funny because I didn’t even celebrate to mess with him, it was more with Leo and I ended up celebrating with him.
“It was fate that put me close to [Kimmich].”
“He said that their team was better, that they would win.
“He was sure that they would go to the semi-finals.
“You can have possession as much as you like.
“You can sing for a woman all night long, but if a guy comes and takes her from you in five minutes, she’s gone.”
Before the second leg, Kimmich had told Bayern’s official website: “Because we are the better team, I am convinced that we will get through.”
Despite technically losing on Tuesday night, Neymar dazzled on the field and rattled the frame of the goal on multiple occasions, including once after bamboozling Kingsley Coman.
After the massive win, Neymar committed his future to the French champs, saying he feels ‘at home’ in the French capital.
The club are set to spend big to tie both him and superstar forward Kylian Mbappe down.
