Neymar had to be restrained by Paris Saint-Germain staff as he attempted to gain access to the match officials' room, according to reports in France.

French radio station RMC has claimed that the Brazilian was so enraged that he tried to reach the referee as PSG players and officials struggled to come to terms with a gut-wrenching late defeat to Manchester United.

Neymar was stood on the touchline at this point, presumably having descended from his executive box just in time to celebrate with his teammates.

The television cameras perfectly captured the Brazilian's disbelief as he stood by the tunnel watching on as PSG's Champions League dream fell apart.

It was after the final whistle, RMC claims, that he would then try to reach the officials and be held back by club staffers.

"Neymar ended up in the corridor trying to get to the referees office before being restrained by members of PSG staff," the report says.

Neymar grabbed headlines post-match with a wild diatribe on Instagram , fiercely criticising the decision to award a penalty and claiming the ball had hit Kimpembe's back.

“This is a disgrace, they put four people that know nothing about football in charge of looking at the replay for VAR," he said.

"There is no penalty. How can it be a handball when it hits his back?! Go f**k yourselves!”
