After his surprising tackle, Mendes later went to Instagram to apologize to Neymar, saying: “Like the people of Brazil, I also admire his football and I hope that nothing serious has happened.” May he recover quickly and offer the fan some joy. Here is my sincere apology again”
Mendes and his family were subjected to vitriolic harassment and death threats from fans of both PSG and the international Brazil online, following news that Neymar could be out for some time with an ankle injury.
Kelly, Mendes’ wife, told CNEWS that they had called the police to assist with the attacks.
