Neymar’s injury timing around his sister Rafaella’s birthday (March 11) has been a running joke for years. Since 2013, he’s missed games almost every March—suspensions, muscular issues, or major injuries like his 2023 ankle surgery that sidelined him for months. Fans call it a “curse” since he often prioritizes her celebration over football. This year, he felt discomfort last Thursday, skipped a match, and tests confirmed the issue. Coincidence or family loyalty? You decide. 🏀⚽
