In this episode, we unpack the complex legal and public-relations storms that have surrounded Brazilian football superstar Neymar Jr. over the years. From the highly publicized 2019 sexual-assault allegation—which he publicly denied and which was later closed by authorities—to the surrounding cybercrime investigation triggered by his decision to post private messages online in his defense, we explore how the case unfolded in the media and the legal system.

We also break down the ripple effects these controversies had on his professional life, including scrutiny during his time at FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the tension they created within the Brazilian national team environment. Through a mix of factual context and media analysis, we examine how one of football’s most high-profile figures has navigated legal battles, public opinion, and the demands of a global sports career.
