It is testament to Neymar's ability that for all the theatrics and play-acting, he still has millions of fans the world over.

His performances at the World Cup in Russia drew criticism from some, with his attempts to gloss over the harsh words of others going largely unheard.

The PSG forward has been in attendance at the 'Neymar Jr's Five' tournament in Sao Paolo in recent days and he made some interesting revelations about himself, including his dream five-a-side team and the composition of his perfect day.
