Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. pulled off some ridiculous moves at Monday's practice session for Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old posted two social media videos Monday from the session.

In the first video, Neymar toyed with a defender, dribbling the ball with his right foot. He then put his left foot over the ball, before using his right heal to nutmeg a defender. Neymar then dribbled toward goal and did a nifty back and forth between two defenders, before eventually losing the ball.

About an hour later, Neymar posted the second video. That footage showed the Paris Saint-Germain star messing with teammate Lucas Moura. Neymar stood on top of the ball with his right foot for a bit, before pretending to pass to his left, he then faked the pass and rolled the ball through his teammate's legs.

Neymar celebrated the sensational move by laughing and pointing at a nearby camera.
