Neymar ‘cries and screams’ as PSG star defies Mbappe again and loses €1million in poker game: ‘I’m going to put this on YouTube’

Injured PSG star Neymar was spotted playing poker and lost a huge sum of money in a move that is unlikely to impress his team-mate Kylian Mbappe.

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has risked the wrath of his team-mate Kylian Mbappe once again after the Brazilian was spotted playing poker on an online stream on Wednesday. Footage has emerged on social media appearing to show the winger, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, fake crying and screaming after losing £880,000 in the space of an hour while playing the card game.

Neymar is often spotted at poker events around the world pitting himself against some of the most experienced players on the planet. And when he is not physically able to make it to the casino table, he often gets involved in online tournaments due to the busy lifestyle of being a professional footballer.

On this occasion, the Brazil international broadcast a stream on Twitch which appeared to show him playing poker online with friends. And he would end up regretting his choices, as it is reported by Brazilian outlet Globo that he lost an eye-watering £880,000 (€1m) in the space of an hour on a betting website.

While the thought of losing nearly £900k in just 60 minutes is incomprehensible for most people, such an amount is a drop in the water for the 31-year-old, whose net worth is thought to be around £77m ($96m), according to Forbes.

The Brazil icon is out for the season following ankle surgery in March, and is spending some of his time with his second love, poker.

Neymar has regularly been spotted in casinos, even taking part in the European Poker Tour where fellow competitors suggested he could make it professionally.

When he’s not at a table, he often tries his hand in online games on his Twitch platform, taking home an impressive haul.

However, that wasn’t the case on Thursday night when the 31-year-old lost €1million [around £880,000], Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reports, and proceeded to fake cry and then scream.

A mock Titanic theme began to play when the realisation set in, a tune regularly used on social media during moments of sadness.

He then said ‘oh f***’ with a laugh before joining in with the out of tune flute music.

One of his fellow players said that he went ‘from a million to zero in 60 minutes’, before Neymar joked: “I’m going to put this on YouTube.”

The PSG forward was last spotted at a poker table after his side’s Champions League first-leg defeat to Bayern Munich, and teammate Kylian Mbappe made some headline comments.

The Frenchman said: “For the return game, the important thing is that we all eat and sleep well,” but he later denied it was criticism of Neymar.

Meanwhile, manager Christophe Galtier later added: “I spoke to Neymar and told him what I thought. He has the right, on his day off, to play poker.”

The €1m loss wasn’t his only moment of drama during the night, though, with his Twitter account hacked.

Among a number of uncharacteristic messages one directed at a Brazilian news outlet read: “F*** you, I hate you.”
