While his teammates at Paris Saint-Germain were getting ready for their crucial Champions League match against Manchester United, rising star Neymar was busy enjoying the Rio Carnival festivities back home.

Due to a fractured metatarsal, the famous Brazilian will not be able to play in Wednesday’s pivotal second-leg match in Paris.

On Monday night, during the second night of Rio’s Carnival procession at the Sambadrome, Neymar was spotted at the Vila Isabel samba school performance.

The fun didn’t end there, as Neymar spent the evening out with vocalists Anitta and Ludmila with close friend and Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina.

Neymar made the most of his time off the field by cuddling up to the two Brazilian musicians.

This most recent incident off the field occurs after he claimed his partying interfered with his ability to perform in clubs.

After making a transfer from Barcelona to PSG in 2017, the forward has 48 goals in 53 appearances, although he is still criticized for his extracurricular activities.

Neymar said Globo Esporte, “I don’t think that my social life gets in the way of my performance on the pitch.”
