Furious Neymar blasts VAR in foulmouthed rant after Man Utd defeat
Paris Saint-Germain superstar, Neymar, blasted the video assisted refereeing (VAR) decision to award Manchester United a late penalty in their 3-1 Champions League last-16 second-leg win at Parc des Princes that secured a 3-3 away goals success.
The injured Brazil international was powerless to stop his teammates from throwing away a two-goal, first-leg lead to a pair of Romelu Lukaku goals and a controversial Marcus Rashford spot kick for a Presnel Kimpembe handball — despite Juan Bernat scoring and hitting a post.
“This is a disgrace,” Neymar raged on Instagram. “Four guys who know nothing about football watch a slow-motion replay in front of the television.
“It was nothing! What can [Kimpembe] do with his hand while his back is turned? Go f— yourselves!”
Neymar watched Wednesday’s match from the stands, having returned from Brazil where he had been recovering from a second fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot in as many years.
