Playing away at Marseille was Neymar's most difficult and emotional match since his world-shaking move to PSG last summer. The home fans did not like the Brazilian striker, constantly booing and throwing things onto the pitch to protest him.

As Neymar prepared to take a corner kick for PSG, a shower of strange objects from the stands immediately rained down on him. Police and security had to stand around to ensure the safety of the away team's most expensive striker. This scene reminded fans of the first time Luis Figo returned to the Nou Camp after leaving Barca to sign a contract with Real.

Neymar was hit by a shower of strange objects while visiting Marseille.

In the match against Marseille, Neymar scored in the 33rd minute to help PSG equalize after Gustavo scored in the 16th minute. However, in the 87th minute, the Brazilian striker put his team in a difficult position when he fouled Thauvin, leading to a second yellow card and being sent off.

Despite playing with one less player, PSG still managed to score another goal. Cavani's goal in the second minute of stoppage time helped PSG tie the match at 2-2 and earn a point. Cavani is also the player who clashed with Neymar a few weeks ago over a free kick. The striker almost had to pack up and leave when his Brazilian colleague met with the team owner and proposed to "fire" him.
