Brazil’s forward Neymar Jr. celebrated after scoring against Colombia in an international friendly match. The photo, taken by AFP, shows the Paris Saint‑Germain star in high spirits on the pitch.
Off the field, Neymar’s recent injury woes have followed him into online gambling. While streaming on his Twitch channel, he lost £900,000 in just one hour at an online casino. The 31‑year‑old, who earns £3.2 million per month, has been left to his own devices after being ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury, according to Mail Online. Although he is better known for his love of poker, Neymar often tries his luck in other online games on his Twitch platform.
During the stream, Neymar pretended to cry as a mock “Titanic” theme played—a piece of music frequently used on social media as a meme for moments of sadness. In a few seconds, his mock emotions shifted from tears to laughter, and he shouted in anguish, putting his fingers in his mouth. He then laughed, muttered “oh f*,” and joined the out‑of‑tune flute music, pretending to play the instrument. A fellow player in the background remarked that Neymar “went from a million to zero in 60 minutes.” Neymar later joked that he would upload the video to YouTube.
Mail Online also reports that the United Kingdom is introducing legislation to restrict betting companies from appearing as shirt sponsors in the Premier League.
