PSG lost 3-1 at home to Manchester United to exit the Champions League on away goals at the round of 16 stage.
United’s winning goal was a penalty scored by Marcus Rashford, controversially given for a handball by Presnel Kimpembe after the decision was referred to VAR.
The Brazilian used Instagram to aim an expletive and insults at video review officials who intervened before United were awarded the stoppage-time penalty.
Neymar wrote: ‘This is shameful! And they still let four guys that do not understand football look at the slow motion video, this doesn’t happen! How is he going to take his hand out when he’s on his back! Oh go f*** yourself.’
The forward, who was injured and did not play, was seen watching on in horror as his side became the first to lose a Champions League knockout tie having won by two goals away from him in the first leg.
