The tears of suffering gave way to a wide childish smile. The last image of Neymar on a football pitch was of a bruised man, his eyes reddened as he climbed onto a stretcher and left the Parc des Princes. Touched in his flesh, overwhelmed by this umpteenth blow of fate falling on this cursed ankle which never ceases to torment him and slow him down in his Parisian career, the Brazilian had to suddenly put an end to his season on the 19th last February. Like an air of deja vu. Like a bad remake too often played since 2017.
