Neymar: PSG star calls out referee after being booked for celebration v Maccabi Haifa

Neymar was fuming after being booked for doing his trademark celebration duringParis Saint-Germain’s match against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday evening.

PSG fielded a very strong lineup for their Champions League clash with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi forming a formidable attack.

But it was the Israeli side that took the lead in the 24th minute through Tjaronn Chery.

PSG fought back and turned the game on its head courtesy of goals from Messi and Mbappe.

Neymar then made the points safe for the French giants as he found the net in the 88th minute.

The Brazilian has been celebrating goals this season by putting his hands on top of his head while sticking out his tongue.

As Neymar explained in July, per Marca, the gesture is a message to his critics.

He did the same after he scored his 11th goal of the season against Maccabi Haifa.

But referee Daniel Siebert was not amused. The German referee decided to book Neymar, which left the PSG fuming.

Siebert is the first referee to show Neymar a yellow card for doing the celebration.
