Neymar took a swipe at his critics with a tongue-in-cheek video in which he teaches children how to dive.
The Brazilian superstar was widely lambasted at the World Cup for his theatrical reactions to challenges which often left the world's most expensive footballer wincing and rolling on the ground.
However, yesterday, he took to Instagram to get his revenge.
"One, two, three, go!" shouts Neymar as around a dozen youngsters fall to the ground of a parking lot.
"That's a free-kick!" screams the Brazilian breaking into fits of laughter.
The video was released with a hashtag #ChallengeDAFALTA, the free-kick challenge in Portuguese.
