'He told me not to stop it': Neymar PLANNED to mock Erling Haaland with celebration if he scored against Borussia Dortmund for PSG, according to his team-mate Marquinhos

Paris Saint Germain defender Marquinhos has revealed that team-mate Neymar had planned his controversial celebration after the French side advanced against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Haaland had wreaked havoc on the French giants in the opening leg, scoring twice as Dortmund held an early advantage over their rivals. After his first goal, the 19-year-old adopted his meditation pose, a typical sight after the Norwegian scores.

Shortly after the first leg, Haaland, the son of former Manchester City star Alf-Inge, shared an image on social media that read: 'My city, not yours', an act that is said to have angered the Brazilian star.
