Video: Neymar spectacularly fails with social media showboat attempt
The poster boy of skills has failed miserably in doing one of his more basic ball tricks.
Neymar doesn't usually let himself down in isolating defenders with pieces of individual brilliance for Barcelona or Brazil.

We suspect the agony was more for embarrassment than actual pain.
