Neymar blasts referee Bjorn Kuipers after Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-1 draw with Napoli, calling the official “disrespectful” after a yellow card in the 90th minute.
The Brazil international was among PSG’s top performers on the day, but he received a yellow card in stoppage time while waiting to take a free kick as he indicated to Kuipers that Napoli players were not the proper distance away.
The PSG winger was given a yellow card soon after for arguing with the referee, and Neymar responded with a sarcastic applause.
PSG were unable to score in the aftermath as they could only settle for a point, and Neymar was less than happy after the match.
“The referee told me something he shouldn’t and it was disrespectful,” he said following the draw.
Napoli’s equalizer came through a controversial penalty as Jose Callejon seemed to be offside on the lead-up to the incident.
Lorenzo Insigne buried the spot kick, canceling out Juan Bernat’s first half finish as both sides could only get a point apiece.
“The Napoli penalty came from a situation that was offside in the build-up,” PSG boss Thomas Tuchel said after the match.
“Plus we should’ve had a penalty and the result certainly could’ve been different with those decisions.
“Having said that, we have to accept the result and move on.”
The point, and Liverpool’s loss to Red Star Belgrade, was enough to keep PSG hope alive in group stage as the French champions sit on five points from four matches in Group C.
Napoli and Liverpool are level on six points at the top of the group.
