Neymar has never been shy about showing off his ball skills. At home, on the training ground, during bizarre charity matches… Brazil's superstar won our (non-existent, made-up) title of world's best ball juggler quite some time ago.

But this clip is a little different.

First, it's not ball-juggling - it's a display of ball control so absurd it's bordering on witchcraft. And second, it's unlike anything else we've ever seen.

During a lull in Brazil training ahead of their friendly against France, Neymar picks up a ball while stood directly behind the goal - and manages to score. How? Well, we've watched this clip about 73 times thus far and we're still not sure. He basically volleys the ball with such a perfect amount of power and backspin, it ends up in the back of the net.

And no-one reacts. Granted, the Brazil squad are used to seeing some absurd skills… but really? No round of applause?

Tough crowd.
