The multi-million-dollar Brazilian forward, one of the world’s most expensive players, has given netizens some joke material after he was spotted taking extra-care of his looks during the recent game between PSG and another French club, Reims, which ended with a 4-1 victory for the Paris club.
Neymar, who has been repeatedly mocked for his pasta-like hairstyle, excessive attention to his looks as well as his famous theatrics on pitch and dive-ins, is now being roasted for his half time skin care routine.

Just before the second half of the match kicked off, Neymar, who scored one goal in the first half with a penalty shot, was spotted applying what appears to be face cream, making commentators guess the purpose of the procedure.
Sunscreen? Moisturizer? Wrinkle cream? 🤔

There were those who preferred good old trashing.
He is more of a marketing boy than a footballer. He better take care of his face.

PSG star Neymar definitely smashed his face in one of these at half-time 🤭
However, the defenders were also in, standing up for the footballer.
People who make fun of Neymar, would love to have him at their club.
