Controversial Marseille midfielder Joey Barton has sunk his claws into Brazil starlet Neymar, taking to Twitter to dismiss the South American's abilities.
"Neymar is the Justin Bieber of football. Brilliant on the old YouTube. Cat p**s in reality," was Barton's damning view of the Santos forward long dubbed as Brazil's hero-in-waiting as it bids to win a sixth FIFA World Cup on home soil next year.
Former Manchester City and Newcastle United midfielder Barton, who now is on a season loan with Marseille from Queens Park Rangers, had already mocked Neymar as 'overrated' after Brazil's friendly loss to England last month.http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au
