Neymar involved in heated exchange with fan

Barcelona forward Neymar was involved in a heated argument with a Manchester City fan towards the end of his side’s 201 win at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The Brazilian international was replaced by Pedro Rodriguez with around 10 minutes remaining in and was initially involved in a war of words with a number of City fans near the Barca bench.

Then, once the final whistle went, he was seen walking over to confront a fan, who is said to have directed a number of words towards the former Santos winger, referring to a number of robust challenges from Pablo Zabaleta, which City fans felt Neymar exaggerated.

The pair were stopped by a number of stewards, before Neymar returned down the tunnel with the rest of team-mates.

Luis Suarez’s two goals for Barca mean they now have the advantage heading into the second leg, although Sergio Aguero’s second half strike keeps the tie open.
