Brazil superstar Neymar caused quite a stir in Paris Saint-Germain's 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday when he was shown a yellow card for his reaction to a tackle on Kylian Mbappe.

Despite his relationship with Mbappe reportedly being fractious, the Brazilian was incensed with Maccabi Haifa defender Abdoulaye Seck following a rough challenge on the Frenchman in the first half of PSG's latest European victory.
Running towards the touchline, the 23-year-old France star was tackled after he put ball back into the box and appeared to be in severe pain before Neymar made his feelings to Seck clear, picking up a yellow card in the process.
The 30-year-old's reaction comes amid rumours that he and Mbappe have fallen out in France, with the Frenchman having reportedly been frustrated with the former Barcelona player's apparent lack of application in recent seasons.
Mbappe's belief was that the club should have sold the Selecao star in the previous transfer window, and was said to be disappointed they could not find a suitor for his teammate.
This all came to light following an on-field disagreement between the two forwards earlier this season in Ligue 1, which later led to Neymar "liking" social media posts in which his colleague was being criticised.
In recent weeks, however, there appears to have been promising signs that the two players have put their differences aside for the bigger picture, with PSG still unbeaten across all competitions.
