WATCH: Neymar subjects poor, poor James Forrest to effortless nutmeg

Horrible

JOE

Spare a thought for James Forrest, everyone.

Here is a man who, when compared to the rest of us mere mortals, is extremely gifted at playing football.

From almost certainly being the best player on the school yard as a kid, he has grown up, worked hard, and become a regular performer for a Celtic side that are looking likely to go unbeaten in their own league for a second consecutive season.

Then he faced Neymar.

After briefly leading against Paris Saint-Germain, Celtic found themselves 4-1 down at half-time in the French capital. Their Brazilian star was a significant factor in that. As well as scoring twice, the former Barcelona forward effortlessly nutmegged Forrest, much to the amusement of many of those watching the game on the telly.

Horrible.
