Neymar's father has donated money to help pay for his son's trial. The former Barcelona star was found guilty of rape and sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

Neymar said he wanted to help his son rather than turn his back on him. He said: "I don't want to turn my back on my son. I just want to help him" The money will be used to pay for Neymar's legal fees and other costs of the trial.
