Neymar facing suspension for locker room altercation following Barcelona loss to Valencia-Renato Goncalves.

Neymar was not
in a good mood on Sunday, and that could cost him a few games.
The Brazilian forward was reportedly
involved in a locker room altercation after Barcelona's loss against Valencia at Camp Nou. Neymar allegedly insulted and threw a water
bottle in the direction of Valencia defender Antonio Barragán, with whom theBlaugrana star had a heated battle on the
pitch.
Neymar was clearly out of his comfort
zone on Sunday. He suffered a hard challenge by Barragán (who got a yellow
card) in the first ten minutes of the game, and the Spaniard continued to
target the Brazilian throughout the match. That clearly upset Neymar, who was
visibly tense and nervous during the whole game, and even argued with team-mate Jordi Alba after not receiving a pass.
Spanish Federation officials have
been made aware of Neymar's locker room actions, and they are expected to
investigate the problem and punish the player if he's found guilty.
Valencia forward Santi Mina was asked
about the alleged altercation, and while he didn't accuse the Barça forward, he
did mention seeing "something fly" towards his teammate on the way to
the locker room, and even delivered this line:
"I don’t know if
Neymar just doesn’t know how to lose."
Neymar is clearly not enjoying his
best football in the last several weeks, and if the accusations against him are
true, he won't be playing football either.
