Paris: Neymar celebrated his 27th birthday with a glittering party here Monday evening joined by family, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) teammates and a smattering of celebrities.
DJ Bob Sinclair, Brazilian singer Wesley Safadao and world surf champion Gabriel Medina were among the 200 guests at the fashionable Pavillon Gabriel near the Champs-Elysees.
The world’s most expensive footballer, nursing a right foot injury, greeted his guests leaning on distinctive red crutches in keeping with the colour theme for the ‘Nuit Rouge’ (Red Night). Among his club colleagues in attendance were captain Thiago Silva and goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
Neymar, who turns 27, Tuesday, will miss both legs of PSG’s upcoming Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United with a metatarsal injury suffered last month.
