Neymar Reportedly Swears at Referee During Barcelona's Win over Monchengladbach
Neymar earned himself a yellow card in Barcelona's 2-1 comeback defeat of Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday after he became frustrated late on and reportedly swore at the referee.
According to ecodiario.es (via Sport), the stoppage-time booking the Brazilian star picked up came after he said, "go f--k yourself," to Slovenian referee Damir Skomina.
The full outburst from Neymar was reportedly: "Claro, claro, vete a tomar por culo," translated as, "Of course, of course, go f--k yourself."
He joins Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in sulk-mode after the Portuguese proffered a similar insult to manager Zinedine Zidane after he was recently substituted in La Liga against Las Palmas, per Jack Austin the The Independent.
Per Sport's report, Neymar clashed with Skomina all night as he was heavily marshalled by the Gladbach defence and was not given as many fouls as he felt he deserved.
It was a relatively tricky night for manager Luis Enrique's men overall as they struggled to overcome hosts who could not boast anywhere near the quality of the Blaugrana squad.
However, having gone a goal down in the first half after Thorgan Hazard's strike, Arda Turan and Gerard Pique turned the game on its head with goals in the second half.
Turan's goal was set up by Neymar, taking his assist tally for the tournament to five in just two matches, per Squawka:
After Manchester City could only draw 3-3 at Celtic, the Camp Nou giants are now sitting pretty at the top of Group C, two points clear of the Sky Blues in second.
