Watch: Neymar skips Ballon d’Or ceremony to stream Call of Duty

04 dic 2018

The Ballon d’Or ceremony took place last night, in which Real Madrid’s talismanic Croatian midfielder Luka Modric came away with football’s top individual award. One notable absentee from the ceremony was PSG and Brazil forward Neymar, who finished outside of the top 10, in 12th, for the first time since 2012.

Neymar boycotted the event, for reasons fully unknown, instead streaming Call of Duty Black Ops 4 on Twitch with some friends.
