The Brazilian alleged that Gonzalez was racially abusive towards him resulted in him throwing a punch at his rival.
Before uncovering what Gonzalez had allegedly called him on the field, Neymar also tweeted: ‘My only regret is not hitting that a**** in the face.”
The Saniard responded to the allegation on social media, labelling Neymar a ‘bad loser’ before the Brazilian responded to Gonzalez’s denial of the allegation.
“There is no place for racism… Sometimes you have to learn to lose and take it on the field.
:Incredible 3 points today. Allez l’OM. Thanks family,” Gonzalez tweeted alongside a picture of himself with his team-mates.
