The events of the last few days have reportedly taken a toll on Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar as he is set to miss a big match with Juventus and the man he supported in Brazil’s presidential election, Jair Bolsonaro, was defeated.
The Brazilian soccer player publicly endorsed far-right candidate Bolsonaro and has been heavily criticized for doing so in recent weeks.
Before the presidential elections, the opposition candidate, Lula, claimed that Neymar supported Bolsonaro in the elections because the former Brazilian president had helped him save taxes.
“He is afraid that if I win the elections, I will find out that Bolsonaro has forgiven him the debt. That’s why he’s afraid of me,” Lula told L’Equipe.
The whole situation has apparently affected Neymar, who scored a goal and an assist in PSG’s win over Troyes the weekend before the election results were announced.

According to L’Equipe, Neymar’s situation has worsened due to constant scolding and criticism from activists celebrating Lula’s victory over the far-right candidate in Brazil.
Following the announcement of the result, several left-wing activists harshly reprimanded the PSG superstar with chants: “Hey Neymar, go fuck yourself” and “Hey Neymar, you have to declare (your taxes)”.
With a major World Cup for the 30-year-old just around the corner, the Brazilian will have to shake it all off and continue his impressive season.
