Fifa World Cup: Neymar does the ‘Neymar Challenge’ as PSG star sees funny side in Fox Sports auction interview
Paris Saint-Germain star pokes fun at himself at Neymar Institute charity auction in Brazil, following criticism of his World Cup play-acting
Neymar has been mercilessly mocked for his World Cup diving dramatics, and it seems he’s figured out the only way to ride this one out is to join in the fun.
The Brazil star was criticised for throwing himself to the ground and rolling around in feigned agony several times during Russia 2018.
His antics spawned the “Neymar Challenge”, where fans filmed themselves rolling around on the floor and screaming in mock pain after someone calls out the Paris Saint-Germain forward’s name.
Neymar poked fun at himself on Thursday when he posted his own “Neymar Challenge” video on Instagram.
In the video, Neymar is surrounded by around a dozen children in a car park, and then shouts, “One, two, three, go!”.
