Neymar has been suspended from streaming platform Twitch for seven days after sharing Brazil teammate Richarlison's phone number.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar has amassed a healthy following on the website and during one stream, he received a phone call from Richarlison.

He then showed his phone to the camera and as a result, Everton forward Richarlison receive over 10,000 WhatsApp messages.

Neymar explained on his Instagram story: "Guys, I got banned from Twitch, if I'm not mistaken for seven days, because of 'Pombo' [Richarlison]."

He captioned the clip: "I accidentally showed the number of Richarlison," with a string of laughing emojis.

The stream came days after Richarlison's sending off in the Merseyside derby for a dangerous tackle on Thiago.

Neymar's conduct goes against Twitch's privacy rules which state: "Do not invade the privacy of others.

"It is prohibited to share content that may reveal private personal information about individuals, or their private property, without permission."

Neymar FaceTimed Richarlison after the error and got the 23-year-old to say hello to his viewers. "We're online. Give a wave." he said. "You're going to have to change your number now."

While Richarlison didn't seem fazed by the error, he took to Twitter and warned followers he'd block anyone who tried to contact him.

"Thank you @neymar you are a genius." Richarlison wrote, before saying: "5 minutes and already has more than 10 thousand messages. Thank you @neymar."

As well as sharing a teammate's phone number, Neymar has also called Sergio Aguero a 'son of a bitch' while playing Among Us and been scared by a friend in a mask.


At least the 28-year-old is finding ways to keep himself occupied amid the coronavirus pandemic.
