Brazil's superstar player made it to Rose Bowl Stadium. Unfortunately for A Canarinha, he wasn't there to participate in their Copa América opener against Ecuador.
Neymar's busy weekend started earlier today, as the Brazilian ace met with pop singer Justin Bieber. The pair shared a few laughs and even kicked the ball around for a while. After approximately 40 minutes, both of them boarded a limousine to make it just in time to watch Brazil take on La Tricolor.

Neymar's next move featured Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx, who joined Neymar and Justin Bieber. Barcelona's wingman didn't miss the opportunity and took a selfie with the Oscar winner for his portayal of musician Ray Charles.

Officers from Brazil's Football Federation negotiated with Barcelona's execs to have Neymar playing both the Copa América Centenario and the 2016 Olympic games. Given the huge amount of games Neymar played throughout the season, and considering he wouldn't have had enough down time, both entities decided that the player should perform in one tournament.
