Neymar has hit out at the “lack of respect” shown to him by a referee during Paris Saint-Germain ’s Champions League victory over Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday.
The Brazilian forward was among the goalscorers alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe as the French champions secured a 3-1 victory despite having initially gone behind. Neymar’s strike was effectively the clincher as he got on the end of Marco Verratti’s lofted ball to score in the 88th minute of the game.
However, his delight was then quickly cut short as his celebration, when he put his hands out on either side of his head in the direction of the crowd and stuck his tongue out, was met with a yellow card from the referee.
