Neymar fans should avoid Twitter whenever the Brazilian goes down with an injury.
Minutes after the Paris Saint-Germain star gave Brazil a 1-0 lead in Sunday's round of 16 encounter with Mexico, Neymar went down with a knock on the touchline. As Neymar writhed in pain, Miguel Layun approached to retrieve the ball and stepped on the Brazilian's ankle.
While it was a cheap shot by Layun, Neymar didn't win any fans with his reaction.
Twitter was quick to call him out:
