Brazilian star Neymar played his first game of the season for Paris Saint-Germain against Strasbourg but was booed by his own fans throughout the encounter.
Neymar, the world most expensive player, was involved in transfer saga in the summer as he tried and failed to force a move back to Barcelona.
He missed his club’s first five games of the season in the process , but returned on Saturday to score the winner at the Parc de Princes
“It is not the first time I have been booed by everyone,” said the 27-year-old.
“It is sad but I know that, from now on, every game I play will be an away game.”
Yet, it was a mixed reaction from the fans, when he scored a late winner with a sensational overhead kick, some cheered, while others continued to boo.
Neymar added: “I made it clear I have nothing against the fans, nothing against Paris St-Germain as a club.
“Everyone knows I wanted to leave. I am not going to get into the details of what happened.
“It is time to turn the page. Today I am a Paris St-Germain player and I am going to give everything on the field.”
Neymar will miss his side’s champions league game with Real Madrid as he’s suspended for the first three matches for improper conduct.
