Neymar
Football superstar Neymar has hit back at fat-shamers by showing off his ripped abs. He wants his Brazil fans to respect him.
According to The Sun, the Paris Saint-Germain star was subjected to criticism during Selecao's 1-0 win over Chile last week when he was accused of being overweight.
This came after PSG's 2-0 win over Reims when manager Mauricio Pochettino took Neymar off midway through the second half and replaced him with star signing, Lionel Messi.
Neymar was criticised for being out of shape after shirtless pictures of him emerged during the international break.
