NEYMAR has been slammed by fans after he was spotted doing something “very inappropriate” on his phone during his daughter’s birthday.
The Brazilian ace had been celebrating his baby girl Mavie’s half birthday alongside his former partner Bruna Biancardi in a heart-warming video posted on social media.

The former couple could be seen putting their differences behind them to sing happy birthday to their daughter.
But sharp-eyed fans noticed that instead of devoting all his attention to Mavie, Neymar, 32, could not take his eyes off his phone.
On closer inspection, it appeared the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star had been playing on an online poker app.
And as family and friends clapped and cheered Mavie, her dad took his hand away from her to tap his phone, apparently making a bet.
Social media users were left in disbelief and what they had just witness, with many infuriated by the star’s behaviour.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one person said: “This guy is absolutely finished. Man is playing poker in the middle of his daughter’s birthday.”
Another commented: “Neymar finishing up his little poker game in the middle of his daughter’s birthday hahaha.”
A third criticised: “Damn, man. Look at Neymar. This is unacceptable.”
Neymar, who now plays for Saudi side Al Hilal is one of the wealthiest players in the world after signing for around £76million last summer.
His wages alone are said to be worth more than £2.5million a week, six times what he earned at PSG.
However, the Brazilian international has made just five appearances in all competitions since arriving in August 2023.
Neymar ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while on international duty in October, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
