The 27-year-old was visibly emotional and not in the mood party despite scoring both goals in PSG's 2-0 win over Lille, after the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant was confirmed earlier on Sunday night.
Neymar celebrated his first goal in the first half much more than his second after the break, with reports suggesting he found out about the tragedy at half-time.

The basketball legend and one of his four daughters were two of nine confirmed victims of a helicopter crash in Los Angeles, and Neymar honoured the sports icon by holding up two fingers on one hand and four fingers on the other as a tribute to his famous No. 24 shirt number.
"I saw the messages (about Kobe) on social media at half-time," he told Canal+ after the game.
"It's really sad for the world of sport and for all of us.
"Not only for basketball fans, but for everything he has done for sport.
"I did that celebration for him, his number, and I hope he'll rest in peace."
