Neymar has been accused of making racist remarks towards a Marseille player during the heated clash in which the Brazilian star was sent off and accused an opponent of racial abuse.
Five players were sent off during the derby between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month following a mass brawl in which Neymar claimed defender Alvaro Gonzalez called him a ‘son of a b***h monkey’.
Neymar was sent off after VAR found that he had thrown a punch at Gonzalez, before the Brazilian took to social media to insist that the Marseille defender was racially abusive towards him.
Marseille and Gonzalez have maintained their innocence, and the football authorities are investigating the claim made by Neymar.
And according to Spanish radio station Cadena COPE, it is claimed that Neymar made racially abusive comments towards Marseille defender Hiroki Sakai during the game at the Parc des Princes.
The outlet says that the 28-year-old labelled the right back, who is of Japanese origin, a ‘Chinese s***’, and that Marseille have evidence of the Brazilian doing so before the alleged incident involving Gonzalez.
