By AFPMore by this AuthorNYONNeymar could be hit with a Champions League ban after Uefa opened an investigation on Wednesday into his foul-mouthed social media outburst about the refereeing during Paris Saint-Germain's controversial exit to Manchester United last week. They get four guys who don't understand football to watch a slow motion replay in front of the TV," Neymar wrote in Portuguese on the social media website. "The defender's arm was not close to the body, which made the defender's body bigger thus resulting in the ball being stopped from travelling in the direction of the goal," Uefa said. Neymar was so reportedly enraged by the decision to give the penalty that he had to be restrained by PSG staff to stop him entering their dressing room. In a statement Uefa announced a disciplinary investigation "has been initiated ... in connection with the comments made on social media by the Paris Saint-Germain player Neymar following the above-mentioned match".
