Neymar made his return to football at his own 5-a-side tournament and it seemed as if he had some built-up frustration to get out...

The 26-year-old forward said after Brazil's exit from the World Cup he didn't want to see a football let alone think about playing.

However he had a tournament, organised in conjunction with Red Bull, to attend, presumably designed so a triumphant Neymar could show off the World Cup. That went well...

Anyway a sponsorship deal is a sponsorship deal so Neymar rocked up at the tournament, keen to show off the wide array of flicks and tricky that made him famous.

There was plenty of that but unfortunately for Neymar that is not the clip that caught our eye, instead that this was this little beauty.

In case you were wondering yes that is Neymar doing a lot of pointless tricks, getting tackled and then barging his opponent off the ball.

You can watch highlights of both finals below.

A big shout-out to the goals for being short and narrow, a throwback to when Eurosport's very own Eric Cantona ran his own cage tournament.
