Neymar, who turns 27 today, enjoyed his birthday in Paris with a party. The Brazilian ace celebrated this special day with friends and family before giving an emotional speech.
The PSG superstar opened up about his one wish for a birthday present in the event. The tearful attacker admitted that "a new metatarsal" is the only thing he desires at the moment.
"What I wanted the most as a birthday present today is a new metatarsal," Neymar said, "so I could be on the field fighting and doing what I love the most, which is playing soccer."

The world's most expensive is currently going through a rough spell. The former Barcelona man suffered another injury to his right foot and it was feared that he would miss the remainder of the season once again.
However, his Ligue 1 employers are now hopeful of a mid-April return. Unfortunately, this means Neymar will be unavailable for the Champions League round of 16 clash with Man United and the first-leg quarter-final game should Tuchel's side progress.
