Al Hilal star, Neymar da Silva, mocked Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, when he considered him the “ugliest” teammate player in his career.
The duo teamed up together in the Brazilian national team, which is currently participating in the 2024 Copa America amid Neymar’s absence due to a torn cruciate ligament.
On the sidelines of the tournament, Neymar conducted a sarcastic interview during which he was asked about the best and ugliest player he played with in his career.
Regarding the best, Neymar said, “Messi is the best player I have ever seen in my life, and if he is excluded, I will say that the best of his teammates is Andres Iniesta.”
As for the ugliest, he said, “I played with a lot. I don’t want to say the ugliest. This would be annoying, but I choose Vinicius.”
He concluded, “Vinnie, I love you so much, I love you more than ever.”
Neymar’s words should not be taken as an insult, as they were in a sarcastic context towards the Real Madrid star, and it is assumed that he accepted what the former Barcelona star said without a crisis.
