The latter has been enjoying a cheeky series of pranks on Neymar over the past few weeks.

Lodi could not resist pinching some pairs of Neymar’s shoes at Al-Hilal’s training ground.

And he proceeded to get some belly laughs by tying knots in the laces.

However, Neymar reacted in bizarre style as he was caught on video targeting Lodi’s car with a knife in his own prank.

The forward decided to slash his pal’s tyres with a knife.

It left Lodi stranded after a training session, with all the tyres having to be removed and replaced.

And fans felt Neymar had reacted a bit too harshly to the initial shoe prank.

One said: “Weird response.”

Another added: “Prank season is ON.”

Neymar, 32, joined Al-Hilal last summer after six years at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian is reportedly earning nearly £130million a year in Saudi.

But he’s so far played just five times after rupturing his ACL in October.

As for Lodi, he joined Al-Hilal in January after just several months at Marseille.

The former Nottingham Forest loanee has since played 10 matches.

And both Neymar and Lodi will be hoping Al-Hilal, who won the Saudi Pro League this season, can end the campaign with another trophy when they face Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr in the King Cup of Champions final tomorrow.
