Brazilian defender Renan Lodi initiated a series of pranks on Neymar over the past few weeks, which included tying his laces in knots. To get back at his teammate, Neymar was seen holding a knife in the parking lot before stabbing and slashing the tires of Lodi’s car.

The video of Neymar taking revenge on Lodi shocked many fans, with many believing it to be an overreaction.
Despite the incident, Neymar and Lodi later won the King Cup final against Al Nassr on Friday night, marking their second title of the season with Al Hilal after winning the Saudi Pro League.
Neymar joined Al Hilal last summer after six years with French club PSG. The Brazilian superstar is said to receive around US$165 million per year at Al Hilal. However, Neymar was injured for almost the entire season, only playing five matches for the club.
Lodi moved to Al Hilal earlier this year after a few months with Marseille. Previously, the 25-year-old left-back played four seasons for Atletico Madrid and had a spell in England, playing for Nottingham Forest on loan.
