Portsmouth's seven-year stay in the Premier League in the 2000s was marked by frequent relegation run-ins and one glorious 07-08 season that included an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a victory in the FA Cup final.

"The Bat, the Cat, and @neymarjr are kicking into high gear in the Batmobile," posted the official account of the film, showing Neymar's joy.
