When the Brazilian found the net however, he used that as the perfect way to hit back at the home fans.
The 26-year-old ran towards the barrier where the banner was unveiled with fans launching a barrage of abuse in his direction.
But Neymar had the last laugh as he began wiping his eyes, mimicking being a “cry baby”.
Angel Di Maria put PSG 2-0 up before the break but two quickfire goals from Antonin Bobichon and Teji Savanier brought Nimes back level.

PSG restored their lead through Kylian Mbappe on 77 minutes with a brilliant effort from inside the box before Edison Cavani made sure of all three points in stoppage time.
The win was somewhat hampered in the final seconds when Mbappe was shown a second yellow card for his tempestuous reaction to a bad challenge from Savanier.
Only Dijon have maintained a 100 per cent record in Ligue 1 like PSG, but the reigning champions have played one more game than The Mustards.
