Lionel Messi might be the world's best player, but his blond hair and bear could be better, according to Barcelona teammate Neymar.
Neymar has risked the wrath of teammate Lionel Messi by taking a swipe at his appearance for the new season.
Messi has sported bleached-blond hair and an impressive beard since returning for club duty from an extended holiday following his Copa America exploits with Argentina.
The new 'do - first revealed via an Instagram post from girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo - has set something of a trend across European football, with Neymar and Rafinha both opting for the same dyed look after their Olympic Games triumph, while Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey and now Liverpool's Alberto Moreno have followed suit.
