Barcelona forward Neymar’s outburst after being substituted during the draw with Sevilla on Saturday was not the first this season.

As mentioned in Spanish journal AS, the Brazilian left the field on 73 minutes for Xavi and stalked to the bench muttering darkly and then threw his boots to the floor. Neymar made similar protests last year when Tata Martino was in charge, but current boss Luis Enrique seems to be unmoved by his striker’s malcontent. Enrique said: “I’m not interested in pettiness and nonsense.”

Neymar has made 26 La Liga appearances this season, starting 22 games. However, he has only played the full 90 minutes on 13 occasions. In 9 games, he has been taken off and he started on the bench in four.
