Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has confirmed he is 'unfortunately' not the man behind his verified Tinder account doing the rounds on social media.
A profile of the Brazilian star has been created on the online dating app that allows users to anonymously swipe to like or dislike other profiles based on their photos and common interests.
The profile was even verified by those behind the scenes at Tinder. But after screenshots of the account began to go viral on social media, Neymar himself responded to the rumours.
