As his old team Paris Saint-Germain lost 4-1 to Newcastle United in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Neymar Jr. sent a mysterious statement on social media.

The Brazilian superstar simply tweeted: “GENESIS 28:15”.

The Bible verse reads: “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you”.

 

 

Neymar moved to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal this summer in a €90million transfer.

Fabian Schar’s sensational long-range goal capped a stunning 4-1 thrashing of Paris Saint-Germain as Newcastle went top of Group F in their first Champions League game at St James’ Park in 20 years.

In an emotional and highly charged atmosphere in the northeast, Eddie Howe’s side roared into a three-goal lead as boyhood Newcastle fans Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff found the net either side of half-time following Miguel Almiron’s early opener.
