The beauty of this insult is that there’s no comeback to it
Athletico Madrid’s Juanfran gave Neymar some slagging during their Copa del Rey quarterfinal clash against the Catalans.
When the Brazilian dynamo was getting ready to take a free kick, he made a signal to the Athletico players to keep their distance. This warranted an immaculate hand gesture response from Juanfran.(No, not the one’s your thinking of) The Spaniard waited until he was in the Barca striker’s direct eyeline when he threw up a “seven” using his fingers.
This was of course a reference to Brazil’s demoralising World Cup semi-final defeat to the mighty Germans last year in which the hosts were absolutely annihilated 7-1.
Neymar, who didn’t even play in that game due to injury, at least had the last laugh as Barca beat Atletico 4-2 on aggregate.
