Neymar seen seemingly punching a fan and pushing his phone down after PSG falls in French Cup final
The Brazil forward was walking up the stairs to collect his losers' medal at Stade de France when he was involved in an altercation. Videos since shared online showed the fan mocking PSG players Gianluigi Buffon, Layvin Kurzawa and Marco Verratti as they walked past, filming them on his phone as he used provocative language about them.
Contacted by The Associated Press for a response, PSG said it stands by Neymar and PSG's other players "100 per cent" over the incident. The club also understands the man in question was the friend of a Rennes player, who has not been named. Neymar had set up PSG's first goal for countryman Dani Alves and scored the second midway through the first half.
