Barcelona ace Neymar taunted Barragan: Shut up! I earn 10 times more than you

Valencia fullback Antonio Barragan and Barcelona star Neymar have previous, it has been revealed.

The pair clashed after Valencia's shock win against Barcelona last weekend, with claims of Neymar throwing something at Barragan.

Superdeporte says during the February meeting, when Barca won 7-0, with Neymar at his best, Barragan asked out of professional courtesy if he could stop trying to embarrass the ten-man visitors.

But Neymar shrugged, smiled and reminded Barragan that he should "shut up... I earn ten times more than you."

So, at the end of Valencia's victory over Barca, Neymar shoved Barragan from behind, whose response was "what's wrong? So today you're not full of dancing or insults?"

A melée was sparked and shouting followed, concluding with a "flying" bottle in the tunnel (in the words of Valencia's Santi Mina) and Neymar sulking in the Barca changing room.
