Details from Barcelona's defeat against Valencia keep surfacing, and once more, Neymar's antics on the pitch caught the eye for all the wrong reasons.
Before the Brazilian ace got into an argument with Valencia's defender Antonio Barragán, which included slapping him on the back of the head and eventually throwing a bottle at the 28-year old defender, the wingman had a few words with his team-mate Jordi Alba. The reason? Alba chose not to pass the ball to Neymar, who reacted furiously.
The video, courtesy of the Spanish TV show "El Día Después", shows Neymar asking Alba to pass the ball, and once the Spaniard chooses otherwise, Neymar reacts by telling him "go f**k yourself". Later, the same footage shows the Brazilian striker yelling at Alba: "Have you got a problem? Do you?" Alba tried to calm his team-mate down, while Neymar kept on yelling if he had a problem.
Watch: Neymar's rant against Alba and his slap on Barragán's head.
