Neymar's birthday party is a 'distraction' - PSG coach Tuchel

The Brazilian, who turns 28 on Wednesday, is known for his raucous celebrations of personal milestones.

In 2019, 500 revellers were invited to an event sponsored by Red Bull, including friends, family and former world surf champion, Sao Paulo native Gabriel Medina (pictured below).
