'I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS'
Neymar made the following statements after the match:
"I responded to the way he spoke to me. I understand the fans criticizing our play, but when it comes to my personality, I can't accept that. I'm consistent, I do more than I should and I can't accept to be treated like this. I'm not saying I can't be criticized for what I do on the pitch, but I won't accept it off the pitch. The fans are upset about the draw. We are upset too.
I am very upset about what I heard from some fans. It was not about my performance, it was directed at me personally, because of what the media shared, because of the news. Sometimes the fans cross the line, they insult me in different ways and that makes me sad. I give my life for this club, I do more than I should and I will not accept to be treated like this."
