The former Brazil captain had to be held back by his entourage after a heated altercation with a fan.

Neymar made his home nation proud by guiding Brazil to an Olympic gold medal – the nation’s first – by helping the hosts beat Germany on penalties.

First the Barca ace converted a beautiful free-kick to give his side the lead, but it was decided on spot kicks after the game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes. Here is where the 24-year-old converted the decisive penalty.

The former Santos ace made the headlines shortly after the final whistle by announcing his decision to step down as captain. The following day sees him back in the headlines, but not in a good light.

A new video has emerged on social media showing Neymar yelling and swearing at one Brazil fan at the Maracana after the player lost his cool. It remains what the fan said or did to the Blaugrana star to spark this reaction.

Neymar was victim to boos from Brazil fans during the group stage, and thus this could be seen as the player venting frustration that built up.

Neymar eventually had to be pulled away by his entourage.
