Neymar’s footwear is making headlines for multiple reasons

All eyes were on Neymar in a preview to Barcelona’s trip to Malaga, but the reason why is unexpected. His footwear this time stole the spotlight from him. But, this is not the first time Neymar’s footwear makes headlines; it was evident that the A-list player had problems with his shoes during the last two official games and which he had to switch multiple times.

Malaga won a free-kick, and Neymar attempted to tie his boots’ laces and where the set piece was to be taken. Gil Manzano, a referee, elected that Neymar obstructed play and showed him a yellow card. Neymar’s second booking was eventually dismissed.

During his last match, Neymar was set to change his shoe wear during an off pitch break, and Luis Enrique was asked about it on Friday and he said: “It’s a risk because we’re playing with one less player for a few minutes, but I’d prefer to be down for a minute and with [Neymar] for the other 89 than him being uncomfortable for 90 minutes”.
