>Video footage showed the 34-year-old striker – who retired from international duty with Brazil last month – taunting Remo officials and players after Santos’ 1-0 victory on Tuesday night.

>The video shows Neymar shouting towards the Remo delegation just outside the dressing room area and being pulled back by Santos officials.

>Neymar then beats his chest, dances by the dressing room door, waves his arms, and repeats the word “eliminated” several times.

>Remo’s officials and players responded by pushing down railings between the two groups as Santos security guards tried to restore calm.

>The fallout continued later with Remo president Antonio Carlos Teixeira quoted by Brazilian news outlet O Fluxo as saying: “That bum Neymar, who’s idolised by a lot of children, did his antics here and then came to provoke us.

>“We’re guilty of idolising a bunch of bums like that guy.”
