A few hours after scoring the winning goal in Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Marseille in the French league, Neymar arrived in court in Spain to face a trial for alleged irregularities involving his transfer to Barcelona in 2013.

Neymar’s parents, as well as former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell and representatives for both the Spanish club and Brazilian team Santos, also appeared in court after a complaint brought by Brazilian investment group DIS regarding the amount involved in the player’s transfer.
