Neymar's mood quickly changed at training on Friday morning.
The Barcelona forward, who continues to be linked with a record-breaking move to Paris Saint-Germain, was a vision of happiness in the early stages of the session, as he joked and smiled with his teammates.
But things took an ugly turn after an apparent clash with new signing Nelson Semedo.

The pair squared up to each other and had to be restrained by several teammates before Neymar angrily ripped his bib off and left the pitch in a fury.
PSG will be hoping the altercation has further unsettled the Brazil international, as they aim to make Neymar the highest profile mover of this transfer window.
The Ligue 1 side are reportedly willing to match the 25-year-old's €222 million buyout clause this summer, although Barcelona remains adamant that they will hang on to one-third of their magnificent MSN triumvirate.
"Neymar is one of our best players and we do not want to lose him," club president Josep Maria Bartomeu told the New York Times.
"We want him to continue with us, he still has four years left, but the players decide if they want to go so there's nothing more to say.
"We need him because, if we want to win [trophies], we need to have the best players."
