Barça forward Raphinha: Neymar's biggest mistake was being born Brazilian

| sport

The Brazilian player has been blunt on social media about the controversy surrounding the injury of the number 10 of the Canarinha.

The discussion on Neymar's injury continues within the Brazilian national team and across the media.

The number 10 of the Canarinha, who has been heavily criticised in Brazil for endorsing Bolsonaro in the recent elections, received many negative comments from his 'haters' in response to his social media post on the extent of his injury.

Ney will not be available for Tite for the two remaining group games of the Qatar World Cup. He should be available for the qualifiers.

One of his teammates and great friends in the Brazil dressing room, Raphinha, wanted to lend him a hand and come to his defence. He took to social media as well.

"Argentina fans, treat Messi like a god, Portugal fans treat Cristiano Ronaldo like a king. Brazilian fans hope Neymar gets his leg broken, how sad. The biggest mistake of Neymar's career was being born Brazilian, this country doesn't deserve his talent and his football," the Barça player posted.

SUPPORT FOR BOLSONARO

Many Brazilians have blamed Ney for his political alignment with Bolsonaro, who denied the pandemic in Brazil. His far-right ideology has discriminated against ethnic minorities and mercilessly deforested the Brazilian Amazon.
