PSG star Neymar charged by UEFA for X-rated rant

PSG star Neymar has been charged by UEFA for his foul-mouthed reaction towards officials in the wake of Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League exit to Manchester United.

Neymar reacted furiously to the VAR handball decision that ultimately handed United victory - berating match officials in the tunnel and launching an expletive-ridden rant towards them on his Instagram account.

Now UEFA have announced the Brazil star has been charged, with a fine and a possible ban on the cards.

A UEFA statement read: “Charges against Paris St Germain: Player Neymar Junior - Insulting / molesting acts against match official (statements made by the player following the above-mentioned match) - Art. 15 (1) (d) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations."
