I didn’t lose my cool’ AFP Marseille eymar blames the referee for “falling for Marseille’s theatrics” after his sending off in Paris Saint-Germain’s Nexplosive 2-2 draw at the Stade Velo- drome on Sunday. Neymar was constantly harried and niggled by a series of fouls in the grudge game against PSG’s bitter Ligue 1 rivals, and pelted by projectiles hurled by Mar- seille fans whilst taking corners. The former Barcelona striker was eventually sent off for two yellow cards late on, both for retaliation with the Brazilian superstar appearing to aim a headbutt at Marseille’s Argen- tine striker Lucas Ocampos. “That wasn’t football,” the world’s most expensive player complained. “The referee fell into the trap of fall- Reuters A key one, he suggested, was his ing for Marseille’s theatrics.
