The Brazilian received his marching orders and will miss the club's next Liga game, but the first offence left the coach rather bemused
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique was not impressed with referee Jesus Gil Manzano's decision to send off Neymar in Saturday's 2-0 La Liga defeat at the hands of Malaga.
The Brazil international received his first booking before the break when deliberately delaying a Malaga free-kick by tying his laces in front of the ball, before being shown another yellow card in the second half for a strong challenge on Diego Llorente.
The red card was Neymar's first since joining Barcelona from Santos in 2013 and Luis Enrique was not convinced the attacker deserved his dismissal.
