Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar clashed with officials during his team’s 5-0 win against Montpellier on Saturday, after the Brazilian forward vented his anger at appearing to be booked for showboating against the opposition.


In a first-half incident at the Parc des Princes, Neymar attempted to pull off a ‘rainbow’ flick over the heads of two Montpellier players while neat the touchline.


The ball went out of play, although referee Jérôme Brisard then called him over, appearing to reprimanding him for showing off.


As the pair argued, Brisard then brandished a yellow card at the Brazilian.



Neymar took issue with his treatment in the tunnel at half-time, with footage showed him speaking to the fourth official.


"I play football and he gives me a yellow card!" Neymar is heard remonstrating in Portuguese.


After being told to “speak French,” Neymar shoots back by saying “speak French my ass.”
