\nISLAMABAD,
\nNeymar said he \u201cacted like a fool\u201d following his red card against Marseille but called on football officials to do more to combat discrimination after accusing Spanish defender Alvaro Gonzalez of racism.
\nThe Brazil forward was one of five players sent off after a mass brawl at the end of PSG\u2019s 1-0 loss in Ligue 1 on Sunday, and later claimed Gonzalez had called him a \u201cmonkey\u201d in a series of furious tweets. PSG have stood by the world\u2019s most expensive player, saying the club \u201cstrongly supports\u201d him, but Neymar conceded he would accept his punishment which is expected to be revealed by the French league\u2019s disciplinary commission.
\n\u201cI thought I could not leave without doing something because I realised that those in charge would not do anything, did not notice or ignored the fact.\u201d
\nNeymar was dismissed for slapping Gonzalez on the back of the head, with team-mates Layvin Kurzawa and Leandro Paredes also sent off, as well as Marseille\u2019s Dario Benedetto and Jordan Amavi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
