Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar took to social media swiftly after the 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League to complain about his booking.
The Brazilian scored PSG s third in Israel, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both already on the scoresheet as Christophe Galtier s side responded after Tjaronn Chery had given the hosts a surprising lead.
Neymar was left frustrated with German referee Daniel Siebert though, who elected to issue a yellow card for his antics after finding the back of the net – despite it being his customary celebration.
The 30-year-old wasted no time in expressing his feelings on the matter, taking to his Instagram account to unleash his thoughts under a caption of football keeps getting more annoying!
Another victory, congratulations, but we move on right? There it is; a celebration is a yellow card, another one for the list for NJ (Neymar), he said.
It s only with me that these things happen to. Next time I will warn the referee s that I am going to do it.

Neymar then took his views to Twitter in a series of posts, writing: I m asking now, okay?
Total lack of respect for the athlete. This kind of thing can t happen. I take the yellow for simply not having done anything and I continue to be harmed.
And the judge? He will not even say he was wrong. A lot of lack of respect.
He then posted a clip of his celebration alongside the name of Siebert, adding the use of emojis to reflective of his antics.
