Neymar knows a thing or two about getting kicked. Many may remember the brutal back injury sustained during the 2014 World Cup that knocked him out of the tournament. According to the report, Neymar has been fouled 1,040 times since 2016.
When the report was released, Neymar’s public relations took the news with humour. Neymar’s official site said: “It’s not just a guess… Neymar Jr. is actually the player who suffers the most fouls in Europe’s major leagues, according to a survey by statistics company BeSoccer Pro. The ace has suffered 1040 fouls since 2016… It’s a lot, isn’t it?”
While Neymar has a history as a jumper, the Brazilian was the victim of some brutal fouls in his career, while playing for Santos in the Copa Libertadores final against Peñarol, he was subjected to brutal fouls during the two-legged series.

Neymar’s father and agent has demanded referees take care of his son over the years, hoping the Brazilian avoids injuries he’s prone to. Neymar has picked up minor injuries during his time at PSG.
Lionel Messi took second place in the report with 839 fouls. followed by Torino’s Andrea Belotti and Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, both at 747 each.
