Neymar: When PSG star was booked for attempting audacious skill v Montpellier

Neymar is one of the most skilful players in the history of football.

The Brazilian legend has a plethora of tricks at his disposal and he shows that whenever he steps out onto the pitch.

However, not everyone has been impressed with Neymar’s skills in the past.

Neymar has managed to rattle opponents by producing skills in the past.

He’s even managed to annoy a handful of referees. In fact, back in 2020, Neymar was shown a yellow card after attempting an audacious skill.

On February 1, 2020, PSG welcomed Montpellier to the Parc des Princes for their Ligue 1 clash.

PSG went 1-0 up early through Pablo Sarabia. Montpellier were then reduced to 10-men shortly after when Dimitry Bertaud was dismissed for handling the ball outside his own area.

That’s when Neymar decided to go full Joga Bonito. Referee Jerome Brisard had enough with the Brazilian just before half-time.

Neymar attempted a rainbow flick over an opponent’s head in the 37th minute, which he wasn’t quite able to pull off.

But that didn’t stop Brisard going over to Neymar and warning him. After a brief altercation, Neymar was then shown a yellow card.
