After all four players were sent off, Neymar was also shown a red following a VAR review which shows him throwing a punch at Alvaro Gonzalez during the 99th minute.

Neymar sarcastically applauded the referee as he left the field and he was heard telling the assistant referee that he was racially abused on the touchline.

There is likely to be a wide investigation into the incident with Neymar facing a minimum three-match ban for violent conduct. And he was clearly fuming when he took to Twitter in the aftermath of the controversy.

VAR pegar a minha “agressão” é mole … agora eu quero ver pegar a imagem do racista me chamando de “MONO HIJO DE PUTA” (macaco filha da puta)… isso eu quero ver!
E aí? CARRETILHA vc me pune.. CASCUDO sou expulso… e eles? E aí ?

The first part of Neymar’s tweet, which was posted in his native Portuguese, translated as “VAR catching my ‘aggression’ is easy … now I want to see the image of the racist calling me ‘MONO HIJO DE PUTA’ (monkey motherfucker) … that I want to see! What’s up?”

The separate tweet is translated as “The only regret I have is for not being in the face of this asshole” – which has been widely interpreted to mean he regrets not punching him in the face.

This is coming weeks after Neymar, who was brought into PSG to help them win the Champions League, was left in tears following his side 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich during the Champions League final.
