Neymar rails against referees following PSG's Champions League loss: 'Oh f--- off'
Neymar is out due to injury, but he went in on the referees following Paris Saint-Germain’s loss to Manchester United.
The Red Devils knocked out PSG after a controversial handball, which was made through the Video Assistant Referee replay system, awarded them a penalty kick in the dying stages of Wednesday’s match.
Afterward, Neymar vented his frustration on his Instagram story:
Translated from his native Portuguese, according to Champions League rights holder Bleacher Report, it’s a pretty scathing indictment of not just the decision but the entire refereeing crew:
Neymar is NOT happy 🤬 pic.twitter.com/bP6O2wtdO7

The call was very close, and it could have gone either way.
It didn’t go PSG’s way, and that decision has stung Neymar and will surely sting the club for a long time.
