Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar was one of five players sent off following a fracas during fierce rivals Marseille's derby victory.

The clash saw an incredible 12 yellow cards shown by referee Jerome Brisard inside normal time as tensions flared on the pitch - and the shocking melee that was sparked into life deep inside stoppage time saw both teams punished.

Marseille's Dario Benedetto and PSG man Leandro Paredes had clashed with the visitors leading by a single goal, and their coming together soon developed into a full-scale scrap involving a large number of stars.

Neymar also found himself involved, and soon received his marching orders for a punch on defender Alvaro Gonzalez after the official checked his VAR screen to review the unsavoury incident.

As he trudged off the Parc des Princes pitch, Neymar could be seen telling the fourth official about an alleged incident of racist abuse, seemingly involving Gonzalez, to add another sickening twist to the evening.

Television footage and a pitchside microphone appear to have caught Neymar pointing at the centre back in question and shouting: 'Racism, no?'
Neymar soon took to social media to vent his frustrations. He wrote: 'My only regret is not hitting that a****** in the face.'

Andre Villas-Boas, the Marseille boss, said he hoped that racism had not further marred the clash. He told Telefoot: 'I do not know, I hope not, I hope that nothing has happened'.

Angel Di Maria, also returning for PSG, was then sensationally accused of spitting on Gonzalez by Villas-Boas.

The attempts to restore calm from the man in the middle fell on deaf ears. Layvin Kurzawa and Jordan Amavi were also caught striking out at each other, with Brisard showing them straight red cards too.

Paredes and Benedetto were the next players banished back inside after picking up their second bookings.

PSG's run to the final of last season's elongated Champions League saw them allowed two extra weeks to prepare for the new Ligue 1 term.

Thomas Tuchel will have been left speechless after his team's horror start, however.

A depleted side fell to a slender defeat against Lens on Thursday, and Marseille were able to inflict further misery despite Neymar featuring.

The hosts were forced to play out the dying stages of the tempestuous encounter with eight men, with Marseille reduced to nine.

Thauvin's goal on 31 minutes proved enough to ensure PSG remain in the drop zone.

FTC hmmm. Oga Seun I Dey send my account for crediting. Meanwhile Neymar is a drama king, he needs to grow up.

Was it a wrestling or rugby?

Neym g

I firmly stand with Neymar's action and felt pity for him, if truly Alvaro racially abused him, he should face the music. No room for racism in football. The campaign is here to stay which is why Manchester United made their third kit a black and white shirt meaning that Black or White we're United

Crazy game

PSG should learn to handle defeat. Though it’s hard losing all the two matches played this season by lone goals

Dey have now lost 2 matches in row... Players in d league have learnt dat the best way to get on d team's performance is to find a way to get on Neymar's nerves.. Once Neymar loses his cool, others will follow

why me!

thought they said when a match accumulates 5 red cards the game will be cancelled

When a team accumulates 5 red cards in a match, not the total red cards including the opponent in a match.

The law actually states that there can not be less than 7 players in a match for a team. That is a maximum of 4 onfield players can continue the match (players on the bench aren’t included)

Before the red seff the referee has been sharing cards anyhow. didn't watch the match but its either the referee has zero chill or the two teams wanted to start world war.

Rivalry in football is good but I believe OM players,staff and supporters hold a grudge against psg.
Every slight shove and tackle by a psg player in the match was reacted to as a personal insult by OM players.
OM were the jewels of French club football for many years.So it must feel awful for their fans and players in recent years seeing psg receive all the attention and accolades in France and the rest of the world

Wow, blood dey hot... everywhere red

Hmmm
Sad! PSG must be frustrated rn. I also feel bad for my boy Neymar. But then again, this is part of the ugly sides football.
Rivalry can be crazy at times and players let it go to their heads.
For example Barca vs Madrid(in the past) always saw Messi get bullied, shoved in the head, Ramos and pepe were always ready to break legs.

It sometimes goes beyond the game. Tempers flare. One teammate gets injured, ref makes soft decision(e.g not showing card) and the offended team tries to get justice by "taking laws into their legs", and boom, trouble starts.

I hate seeing things like this.

Who remembers the Portugal match in 2006 world Cup in Germany, or was it?
