Neymar was asked to name the ugliest player he's ever played with, and fans can't enough of his answer.

Neymar was ruled out of the 2024 Copa America after suffering an injury.

But he is in the USA to support Brazil as he made his feelings clear on a substitution during his national team's drab goalless draw with Costa Rica.

And he's been doing media around the Copa America, with the 32-year-old asked to name the ugliest player he's ever played with.

“The ugliest player I played with? F*ck... I’ve played soo many, man, it’s a good competition," he began, before opting for Vinicius Jr in a ruthless answer.

"F*ck, with all due respect... Vini Jr, he hurts man [laughs]. Look Vini, I love you but bro. The good thing is that he’s funny, so it makes up for it."

Of course, Neymar has played with Vinicius Jr at international level, and he's tipped the Real Madrid superstar to be one of Brazil's key players at Copa America.

But he clearly doesn't rate his looks, calling him the ugliest player he's played with, which got fans online talking.

One X user wrote: "Before people start crying, Ney and Vini are friends, and this is just banter between them CALMA."

A second joked: "He cooked Vini Jr."

A third joked: "Now this is content."

Vinicius Jr has come into his own in the last few seasons, having excelled at Real.

He scored an impressive 24 goals in all competitions last season as he helped his side to La Liga and Champions League glory.

The 23-year-old will now be hoping to inspire his national team to Copa America triumph this summer.

Vinicius Jr and Co. will resume their campaign on Saturday when they face Paraguay.
