His performances on the pitch can be scary, as many Celtic supporters will attest to.
And his diving antics often make fans' blood boil like a witches' brew.
But Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar received a fright of his own on Halloween when a pal gave him a scare during a live stream.
The 28-year-old had some free time on Saturday evening as he continued a spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury while his PSG pals downed Nantes 3-0 to climb to the Ligue 1 summit.
Streaming to over 600k subscribers on popular platform Twitch, the winger plays a horror video game when he is told to look over his shoulder.
And he's given a shock as a pal, complete with a monstrous mask, is waiting next to his gaming chair.
The star, who subsequently laughed off the prank, is reported to be considering a contract extension at the French champions.
Neymar has been linked with a return to La Liga side Barcelona but a downturn in the Catalans' financial situation now means a mega-move back to Spain is unlikely.
