Neymar opened the scoring in Barcelona’s 3–1 win over Atletico in the 12th minute and three minutes later, he took a Jose Gimenez boot to the ankle that left him bleeding through his sock.

Gimenez wasn’t punished for the incident and Neymar was taken off on a stretcher as he showed off his ruined sock.
