A few hours after scoring the winning goal in Paris Saint-Germain's victory over Marseille in the French league, Neymar arrived in court in Spain on Monday to face a trial for alleged irregularities involving his transfer to Barcelona in 2013.

Neymar's parents, former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell and representatives for both the Spanish club and Brazilian team Santos are also set to appear in court after a complaint brought by Brazilian investment group DIS regarding the amount of the player's transfer.

All defendants have denied wrongdoing. The Brazil striker arrived at the court in Barcelona wearing sunglasses and a black suit and tie. Neymar's father, who also is his agent, was among those arriving alongside the player. The trial comes nearly a month before the World Cup opens on Nov. 20 in Qatar. It is expected to last until the end of the month.

On Sunday, Neymar scored his ninth French league goal of the season in first-half stoppage time to lead PSG to a 1-0 win over Marseille in French football's biggest game.
