Valencia goalkeeper defends Neymar, criticizes Spanish media

Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves delivered another performance for the ages on Sunday as his team defeat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou, with the Brazilian stopping nearly every shot and denying the Blaugrana with big save after big save.

Unfortunately, another Brazilian was in the headlines on Sunday, and not in a good way. Neymar was out of control, offending teammates, slapping opponents and even (allegedly) throwing a water bottle in the locker room, which could result in a suspension for the Barça forward, who is going through maybe his worst run of form as a Blaugrana.
