Schalke 04 goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer was slapped by a fan during a tour of Gelsenkirchen celebrating the club's triumph in the German Cup final.
The Germany international announced before the end of the Bundesliga season that he would leave Schalke, either as a free agent when his contract ends next year, or this summer for a fee.
Mobile phone footage shows the 25-year-old getting slapped as he bends down from an open-top car to greet fans lining the streets on Sunday.
Neuer looked stunned at the time, then stands up and motions to the fleeing fan. He then goes on celebrating with team-mates.
