From his Barcelona days to his recent PSG ones, controversies have always accompanied Neymar.

The 27-year-old flamboyant winger has gotten a lot of unsolicited attentions from the opponent defenders on the field, due to his excessive showboating character. Neymar likes to demonstrate every skill in his kitty, and sometimes by doing so, he gets kicked at by the opposition.

Another notable attribute of Neymar’s game is his play-acting. The 27-year-old forward has been denounced immensely for his play-acting skills by some sections of football pundits and the followers of the beautiful game. Neymar’s play-acting was at the pick of his prowess in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where the Brazil skipper spent a sum of 14 minutes on the floor.

Apart from his on-field behavior, Neymar’s off-field activities have also been questioned several times. The PSG talisman has received a three-match retrospective ban recently, after hitting a supporter after PSG's defeat to Rennes in the Coupe de France final. Moreover, Neymar will also miss first three matches of the Champions League next season, due to a three-match ban from UEFA for his harsh comments on Instagram about the referees after PSG were eliminated by Manchester United in the round of sixteen.

Apart from these recent ones, Neymar had to face a lot of sticks regarding his transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2013 from Santos. He and his father were seriously alleged of corruption and both had to answer several questions from the Spanish jurisdiction.
