'Hot-Headed' Neymar Needs to 'Show More Control,' Says PSG Team-Mate Dani Alves

Dani Alves has urged his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar to "show more control" after he hit out at a Rennes fan following PSG's defeat in the Coupe de France final on Saturday.

PSG lost the final on penalties after letting slip a two-goal lead, and the 27-year-old was involved in the altercation with the supporter as the Parisians went to collect their runners-up medals.

Per ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson, Alves said:

"It was a delicate moment. We had just lost a title and he was hot-headed. It was a reaction and one that I think was not right in that moment.
