Robertson frustrated by Neymar antics in Champions League clash

Liverpool ace Andy Robertson has blasted PSG’s Neymar for “play-acting and time wasting” after the Reds defeat in Paris on Wednesday.

Brazilian star Neymar has come under fire from many for his antics, with the PSG man criticised for how easily he goes down.

Scottish full back Robertson has joined the many criticising the attacker, with Liverpool going down 2-1 to the French Champions in Paris.

Robertson told Sky Sports:

I suppose they were in the lead and they were looking to waste time. You can use gamesmanship, play-acting, you can use it all really.

I would like to know how much time they wasted – it was frustrating. But when you play against PSG you know it’s something you’re going to come up against especially with him [Neymar]. It wasn’t something we quite dealt with tonight.

It’s frustrating when he is falling like he is. It’s all part and parcel of his game and we needed to deal with that.

We didn’t quite control our aggression.

The defeat leaves Liverpool in a precarious position, with the Reds needing to beat Napoli by two clear goals at Anfield to progress in the competition.

If they fail, they will be condemned to the Europa League.
