Paris: Neymar was charged by UEFA on Friday for making “insulting” comments about the match officials following Paris Saint-Germain’s shock Champions League loss to Manchester United.
The Brazil forward missed the 3-1 second-leg defeat in the last 16 earlier this month through injury, but told match officials “to go fuck yourselves” on social media after watching on from the sidelines at the Parc des Princes.
The 27-year-old was angry with the award of a decisive injury-time penalty which Marcus Rashford scored to send United through. UEFA said he had been charged, with the date of his hearing yet to be confirmed. (AFP)
