Manchester City fan confronted by Neymar 'shocked' by Barcelona star's reaction

Man City fan 'shocked' by Neymar's reaction

The Manchester City supporter who was involved in a bust-up with Barcelona star Neymar has described the Brazilian as "very unprofessional".

Aziz Hammad was confronted by Neymar pitch-side following Barca's 2-1 victory over City at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

Video footage of the incident emerged showing Neymar approach Mr Hammad at the end of the Champions League last-16 clash after the supporter gestured that the forward dived.

The City fan told BlueMoonRisingTV: "It's part of football, it wasn't abuse. It's very unprofessional to come face to face with a fan and look like he was picking a fight.

"Neymar walked around towards me and came face to face. He said things in Portuguese but I don't speak Portuguese. Stewards told me I was in trouble and Neymar walked off. That was the end until the video was sent to me.

"I was just doing what everyone else was and I couldn't believe the reaction. Most players just ignore fan gestures and taunts."

Neymar was substituted in the 80th minute of the match in Manchester.
