Paris Saint-Germain boss Unai Emery has defended Neymar after he caused controversy in their 3-2 win over Rennes in the Coupe de la Ligue on Tuesday.
According to The Sun's Jake Lambourne, the Brazilian showcased some "unsportsmanlike" behaviour in the match, but manager Emery told Canal+: "Neymar plays like that and he is a great player, so he needs to enjoy himself on the pitch in order to bring what he can to the team. He must also be protected and not just him, every player."
Neymar showed off his skills in the match by controlling the ball with his back and scooping it over Benjamin Bourigeaud, and he was then fouled for his troubles, per Goal UK:
The forward then prompted controversy after fouling Hamari Traore.
