Neymar has spoken out after the recent backlash to his support for Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro, who is standing for re-election after coming to power in January 2019, has attracted criticism after being accused of homophobic and misogynistic comments. The far-right president, who has been compared to Donald Trump, won 55 per cent of the votes in the 2018 elections and is looking to win a second term as his country's leader.
Neymar is among a number of Brazilian footballers to show support for the president, with Tottenham forward Lucas Moura another. And, after thanking the ruler for visiting his non-profit youth institute, Neymar has responded to those questioning his support for the 67-year-old.
