Neymar Poses for a Selfie with Socialite Paris Hilton in Ibiza; Injury Update, Targets to Return to Action for Joan Gamper Trophy
Neymar Jr. is still nursing a broken back after he was kneed in the back and suffered a fractured vertebra in a match against Colombia during the 2014 World Cup. However, the traumatic experience isn't enough to stop Neymar from going out and having fun. The Barca superstar has been taking steps to recovery by embracing every opportunity for a good time. Recently, Neymar posted a selfie with American socialite and hotel heiress Paris Hilton during a night out in Ibiza.
Neymar shared a photo of him with Paris to his more than 10 million Instagram followers on Aug. 3. According to reports, Neymar met Paris by chance while attending Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger's 30th birthday bash at an Ibiza night club.
Neymar's Barca teammate Dani Alves also scored a photo op with Paris and shared it on Twitter.
