Football and, specifically the Champions League, is serious business these days. But even the mighty Barcelona can have a laugh from time to time.
And the butt of the jokes this week was none other than their Brazilian superstar Neymar, who is sporting an interesting choice of facial hair ahead of the Spanish giants' mammoth clash with French side PSG in Europe's greatest club competition.
The 25-year-old has decided to grow out a moustache. And not just any old moustache, but an actual full-on handlebar one at that.
Neymar certainly can't be accused of being boring when it comes to style and has emerged as somewhat of a fashionista over the years.

The former Santos prodigy is always changing up his appearance, whether that be with his outfits, his hairstyle or his tattoos. But this latest change is certainly questionable at best.
As the video courtesy of Deportes indicates, attacking partner Luis Suarez is clearly the most amused by Neymar's underwhelming attempt at good facial hair.
The Uruguayan was unforgiving in his bout oflaughter as was Gerard Pique, whocouldn't resist joining in the mockery.
It remains to be seen whether his teammates' mickey-taking will deter him from officially unveiling the 'tache on the pitch against PSG, but let's all hope he makes the right decision and gets rid of the monstrosity and pretend it never happened.
