Neymar’s dummies managed to fool even the assistant referee standing behind him as the Paris Saint-Germain player prepared to take a corner in their Champions League group game against Liverpool.

The Brazilian was the star of the show as the French side defeated the visitors and took a big step towards qualification for the last-16 with a 2-1 victory on Tuesday.

Full of tricks under the lights at Parc des Princes, Neymar confused the official attempting to keep up with play.

Twice, the linesman started to move only for the corner ball to remain stationary.

Whether the number 10 warned him beforehand is unclear.
