Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel has defended Neymar after he was sent off in their 4-3 win over Bordeaux on Sunday.

Neymar picked up a second yellow card for a poor challenge on Yacine Adli in injury time.

Per Goal's Timothy Abraham, Tuchel said after the match: "We have to talk about the whole situation. He is nervous and he reacts. It is human. He must not, but it is human. And the Bordeaux player does not even get a yellow card."

The Bordeaux player Tuchel was referring to was Youssouf Sabaly, who had earlier escaped sanction despite hauling Neymar to the ground in front of the officials.
