The Barcelona defender has come to the defense of his teammate after he was handed a four-match international ban.
Jordi Alba says he would have "exploded" like Neymar after the Brazil forward was banned for four games following his red card in the aftermath of his nation's Copa America defeat to Colombia.
The 23-year-old kicked a ball at Pablo Armero at full time and was then involved in an altercation with Carlos Bacca, which saw both players given their marching orders.
Neymar was subsequently handed a suspension that has ruled him out of the rest of the tournament, but Alba understands the frustration of his Barcelona teammate.
