Football legend Marco van Basten has described Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar as an “unpleasant person on the pitch”.
The Brazilian star was involved in controversial moments during a bad-tempered Ligue 1 clash against Reims on Saturday night, in which the French champions were held to a scoreless draw. Sergio Ramos was sent-off in the first half, with several flare ups between players during the game.
Neymar came on as a second half substitute and was at the heart of late drama, with the two sets of players involved in altercations following an off the ball incident, before Neymar was booked for a cynical foul to interrupt a Reims counter-attack late on.
