Neymar has taken to Twitter after accusing Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez of racially abusing him in Paris Saint-Germain's loss tonight.

The Brazilian was one of five players sent off in stoppage time as chaos descended in Marseille's historic 1-0 win at Parc des Princes.

VAR was used by the referee in the 99th minute, with footage clearly showing Neymar striking Gonzalez in the back of the head.

However, upon leaving the pitch, he was seen telling the fourth official of the racism he had been subjected to - having made the officials aware of it beforehand.

Not long after the final whistle, the former Barcelona superstar reacted on social media in what was a clear reference to the altercation with Gonzalez.

Roughly translated, the tweet reads: "The only regret I have is for not being in the face of this asshole."

It has been reported that Spanish defender Gonzalez uttered the words: "shut your mouth you dirty monkey" to Neymar - which led to him lashing out at the 30-year-old.

The incident in question appears to have occured in the following clip from the game:

As well as Neymar, PSG pair Layvin Kurzawa and Leandro Paredes were sent off for their parts in the brawl, along with Marseille's Jordan Amavi and Daria Benedetto.

Florian Thauvin's first half goal proved to be the winner, giving the visitors their first win over PSG for nearly nine years.

Thomas Tuchel's side have now lost the first two games of the season - something which has not happened since the 1984/85 campaign.
