Neymar can’t seem to get away from trouble recently. The Brazilian superstar has been sued again for slapping an opposition fan, after a Paris Saint-Germain game in 2019.

The incident occurred in the aftermath of PSG’s surprise loss in the final of the Coupe de France to Rennes in April 2019, with Neymar hitting a Rennes fan while going to collect his losers medal.

According to GFFN, the Rennes supporter has filed a legal complaint against the Brazilian, after a Mediapart investigation revealed he was one of the targets of the club’s alleged hostile social media campaigns.
