NEYMAR has been sent off for DIVING on his return to PSG action.
Just 19 days after Brazil crashed out of the World Cup, the winger took to the field against Strasbourg.

But Neymar lasted just 63 minutes before he was given his marching orders.
He was firstly booked just past the hour-mark before he saw red moments later.
With the score 1-1 following Marquinhos‘ own goal, the 30-year-old tried to trick referee Clement Turpin.
But his attempt at winning a penalty went horribly wrong as he was penalised.
Neymar got to the ball first on the right side of the box, but he was awarded a second yellow card for simulation.
He had been looking to make a positive return to club football following his disappointing World Cup that was overshadowed by an ankle injury.
But instead the forward was sent off for the FIFTH time in his PSG career.
And he’ll now miss their New Year’s Day trip to Lens.
