Neymar has received the backing of Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel after his reaction to Saturday's Coupe de France final loss continued to overshadow the build-up to Tuesday's Ligue 1 outing against Montpellier.
The Brazil superstar completed 120 minutes on his first start since suffering a foot injury in January, setting up Dani Alves' spectacular opener against Rennes, scoring the second and netting in the penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw.
Christopher Nkunku missed from the spot to hand Rennes their first major honour since 1971 and Neymar's confrontation with a supporter when PSG went up the Stade de France steps to collect their runners-up medals stole post-match headlines.
