But Neymar lasted just 63 minutes.

He was firstly booked just past the hour-mark before he saw red moments later.

With the score 1-1 following Marquinhos‘ own goal, which cancelled out his opener, the 30-year-old tried to trick referee Clement Turpin.

But his attempt at winning a penalty went horribly wrong as he was penalised.

Neymar got to the ball before the defender on right side of the box before falling to the ground.

But he was awarded a second yellow card for simulation.

He had been looking to make a positive return to club football following his disappointing World Cup that was overshadowed by an ankle injury.

But instead the forward was sent off for the FIFTH time in his PSG career.
