Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar has claimed that referee Bjorn Kuipers said something to him that he should not have during Wednesday’s 1-1Champions League Group C draw with Napoli.
Juan Bernat’s first-half strike was cancelled out by Lorenzo Insigne’s second-half penalty and the Brazil international was subjected to rough treatment from the hosts.
“The referee told me something he should not have,” said Neymar in the Stadio San Paolo mixed zone after the final whistle. “It was disrespectful.
“I do not want to repeat what he said to me. However, somebody high up should do something. He cannot be as disrespectful as he was with me. On the pitch, we are asked to show respect towards the referees. We should get the same in return.”
