BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Neymar has appeared in court to face a trial for alleged irregularities involving his transfer to Barcelona in 2013. The start of the trial in Barcelona came a few hours after Neymar scored in Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-0 victory over Marseille in the French league. Neymar’s parents, former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell and representatives of the Spanish club and Brazilian team Santos also appeared in court after a complaint brought by Brazilian investment group DIS regarding the amount of the player’s transfer. All of the defendants have denied wrongdoing.
