Neymar appeared to aim a punch at a fan goading him and other PSG players with provocative language, following the club’s surprise French Cup final defeat to Rennes
PARIS — Neymar appeared to aim a punch at a fan goading him and other Paris Saint-Germain players with provocative language, following the club’s surprise French Cup final defeat to Rennes on Saturday.
When it came to Neymar’s turn, he stopped, looked at the man who was grinning at him, pushed his phone down and then flicked a quick jab with his right hand that caught the man around the chin area. The man stepped back but did not appear to be hurt. Rennes won the Cup in a tense penalty shootout after fighting back from 2-0 down to force extra time. It was the club’s first trophy since winning the Cup in 1971 and prevented PSG winning it for a fifth straight season and a record extending 13th time overall.
Neymar’s temper got the better of him earlier this season after PSG lost to Manchester United in the Champions League.
