The Brazilian celebrity uploaded a video on his Instagram account, aligning with the online poker platform, PokerStars, as part of his preparations for his upcoming birthday on February 5th. He was seen dressed formally for the video shoot, accompanied by the music of American rapper J Cole.

Turning 32 tomorrow, the Brazilian star’s career trajectory hasn’t quite matched the lofty expectations set when he transferred to Barcelona more than a decade ago. While he made significant waves in global football, his move to Paris Saint-Germain saw setbacks, partly attributed to unfortunate injury streaks.

Recent photos of the superstar surfaced online, revealing him in a less than ideal physical condition, sparking a flurry of social media trolling. However, Neymar had a sharp response ready for his detractors.

Currently in the process of recuperating from an ACL injury sustained last October, the Brazilian is anticipated to make a comeback next season for Al-Hilal. Regrettably, he’ll also miss out on Brazil’s Copa America campaign in the United States.
