Arms outstretched, looking incredulous: it was by imploring referee Daniel Siebert, Wednesday, September 14, in Haifa, that Neymar ended his Champions League evening. For celebrating his goal, PSG’s third against Maccabi, with his usual mimicry – a grimace, sticking out his tongue and waving his hands above his head – he received a warning that he not only didn’t understood but, above all, not accepted. In a series of messages on social networks a few minutes after the meeting, he notably mentioned “a lack of respect” after this yellow card which, according to our information, the German motivated by “unsportsmanlike conduct”.

No referee can impose rules of behaviour and ethics on soccer players regarding a goal celebration.
Otherwise soccer stops being a sport and become a political game which should be a shame
