Paris St-Germain forward Neymar has been banned by Uefa for three European games for insulting match officials on Instagram after the Champions League last-16 defeat by Manchester United.

The Brazilian called referee Damir Skomina's late penalty decision made using the video assistant referee system, a "disgrace" on social media.

Neymar, who was injured, watched United overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit.

He will now miss half of next season's Champions League group stage.

Neymar said the penalty, which was scored by Marcus Rashford, "doesn't exist".

And the 27-year-old then went on to add: "It's a disgrace. Four guys who know nothing about football watch a slow-motion replay in front of the television."

The referee reviewed footage of the ball striking the hand of PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe before awarding the visitors an injury-time penalty that gave them a 3-1 win in the second leg on 6 March, enabling them to progress on the away goals rule.

"What can he do with his hand while his back is turned?" asked Neymar, who missed both legs with a broken metatarsal.

Neymar returned to action after a three-month injury absence as a half-time substitute as PSG celebrated winning Ligue 1 by beating Monaco on Sunday.

He wasn't wrong though. That new handball directive is nonsense.

Three match ban for criticising officials on Instagram seems harsh.


If that is worth a three match ban, then will UEFA give longer bans to players who make racist/sexist comments on social media, or longer bans for violent conduct on the pitch?


Am no fan of Neymer, but geting the same punishment as a straight red on the pitch seems a bit much.


Just wondering if this is going to turn out like when Masch was sent off at the start of that "respect for refs" campaign some years back and then we saw no decrease in how the players protested but no flurry of reds to go with that.



Actually it is UEFA so no need for me to wonder if they will be consistent.

I hate Neymar but agree with him here that one was a VAR shocker.

Fortunately they seem to have applied more common sense to some of the ‘arm ball’ decisions since such as the TAA one v Porto at Anfoeld where the ball was going out, it hit his arm which was by his side = no pen.

Not sure about the legitimacy of a three match ban for an Instagram post either?
