Neymar clash just handbags, insists Luis Enrique

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique says Neymar's late clash with Celtic defender Mikael Lustig was "just handbags".

Messi dismantles Celtic to send Barca through as group leaders

Both players went head-to-head after the Barca forward was penalised for a challenge on the defender late in a Champions League game that had seen them regularly do battle on Wednesday.

Neymar was visibly angry with Lustig as they squared up and Celtic supporters were furious to see both players shown bookings for the incident.

They then roundly booed the Brazil international when he avoided a punishment for another challenge on Lustig and he was substituted for Arda Turan shortly afterwards.
