The Brazil playboy, who last Saturday signed a new four-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 giants, is being punished for a booking in the semifinal at Montpellier, which PSG won 6-5 on penalties on Wednesday.

After the hosts equalized following a Kylian Mbappe double, the world's most expensive player was booked for catching Teji Savanier's foot in the 90th minute, giving away a dangerous free kick on the edge of the box that Montpellier did not capitalize upon.

Embarrassingly for the 29-year-old, he had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes. His suspension was later confirmed for the final, although Paris plan to appeal.

"I would like to understand the reasoning of the guy who takes care of bookings in France," an angry Neymar seethed on Instagram.

"That deserves applause. What a mess. Thank you for suspending me for the final."

In another upload aimed more directly at referee Jeremie Pignard, he added: "I think it was personal. I play five minutes, I commit a foul and he gives me a yellow without even thinking."
