VIDEO: Nicolas Otamendi embellishes mild headbutt from Neymar

In a bizarre twist of fate, Neymar found himself the victim of embellishment during the first half of Barcelona's fixture against Valencia on Sunday.

After what appeared to be a legitimate tackle in the box, Valencia centre-back Nicolas Otamendi approached Neymar, who was lying on the ground, and appeared to whisper some words that likely weren't too kind.

Neymar reacted by advancing his head with the smallest of motions, and the result was Otamendi grabbing his face and falling to the ground in apparent agony.
