The clamps from Neymar and goals from Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe helped Paris Saint-Germain closed their Japanese pre-season tour with a 6-2 wins of Osaka.
Two goals from Neymar, one of which came from a penalty, came after the Brazilian striker said he wanted to live in PSG but admitted that he did not know what the club had planned for him.

Pablo Sarabia added other efforts while left back Nuno Mendes also scored, but Gamba Osaka reduced deficits with goals from Keisuke Kurokawa and Hiroto Yamami.
PSG opened the score in the 28th minute when Messi entered the box and shot was saved, before Sarabia directed the rebound house for his second goal in many preseason matches.
Two minutes later Neymar came down in the area after the challenges of Genta Miura and coldly converted from that place, placed a further distance between PSG and the host.
But Gamba Osaka dragged themselves back to the game when Kurokawa scored in the 34th minute after saving points from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
However, the French champion immediately restored their advantage, by Mendes shot forward to complete with his left boot and Messi joined Neymar before the Argentine international handed PSG’s fourth goal.
Messi played an inch-complete pass to Neymar for the efforts of the two Brazilian forwards in the 60th minute, while the 86th minute penalty Mbappe ensured a relatively routine victory for the Christophe Galtier team despite Yamami’s 70th effort.
