After an unexpected World Cup for him and Brazil, Neymar returned to France with the goal of winning all possible titles with Paris Saint-Germain. In the restart of Ligue 1, the 30-year-old forward was the protagonist of the match against Strasbourg with good and bad actions: the positive ones were his assist to Marquinhos for the 1-0 goal and the trick that lifted the stadium in the first half, and the negative ones were his double yellow card for simulation and his terrible reaction against the referee.
It was the 62nd minute at Parc des Princes and Neymar posed a threat after entering the area with a great pass from Mbappé. The Brazilian headed towards the goal and, when he felt he could lose the ball against the opposing defender, he threw himself to the ground claiming a penalty.
The referee Clément Turpin, who was close to Neymar, did not hesitate in his decision and showed the second yellow card to the attacker. Immediately, the former Barcelona player confronted the referee and angrily protested the decision, but the Frenchman stood firm and asked him to leave.

After the incident, Neymar was very angry and made a surprising decision: according to Canal Plus France, the forward quickly showered and left the stadium. He didn't wait for his teammates or the coach for the post-match talk, a fact that is already controversial in the European country.
