Tuesday, May 5, 2026 - Superstar footballer, Neymar, reportedly slapped his 18-year-old team-mate Robinho Jr during a training ground bust-up at Santos, after the Brazilian legend believed he had been disrespected.
According to a report by Brazilian outlet Globo, Neymar took
exception to being dribbled past by his teenage team-mate, who is the son of
former Real Madrid and Man City attacker Robinho.
An argument ensued after Neymar had told Robinho Jr to ‘take
it easy’, leading to the pair pushing each other.
Neymar was reported to have slapped and then tripped Robinho
Jr, leading to the pair being removed from the training session.
Neymar and Robinho Jr had both been part of the reserve
training session after being left out of Santos’ squad for their match against
Palmeiras, ahead of their Copa Sudamericana match against Paraguayan side
Recoleta.
Robinho Jr’s representatives were reported to have
complained about the incident to Santos’ club president.
It was gathered that the issue was resolved after Neymar
apologised to Robinho Jr having recognised he had been at fault for the
incident.
