THOMAS TUCHEL has blasted Neymar for the incident in which the forward allegedly punched a fan.
The PSG boss took a strong stance on the matter despite the fact his club seemed to back the Brazilian.
Images shot after the game show the ex-Barcelona superstar become involved in an altercation with a fan before appearing to strike out.
The 27-year-old was on his way to collect his runners-up medal after his team lost 6-5 on penalties to Rennes – after drawing 2-2 in normal time at the Parc des Princes.
The forward scored PSG‘s second goal of the game but Rennes pulled it back and his actions after the defeat mean he now faces an eight-game-ban.
Since his arrival, Tuchel has been involved in a power struggle of sorts with the megastar but he pulled no punches on this occasion.
Commenting on the incident, he said: “I do not like it at all.
“It’s not possible to do that.
“I have not seen but everyone has told me.
“If you win it’s easier but it’s not possible to enter a challenge with a spectator.”
As well as his anger at the situation, Tuchel admitted it came as a shock to him.
He added: “He played very well so I did not expect it.
“He played 120 minutes, scored the fifth penalty and gave a lot of dangerous passes.”
The French football commission are set to meet this week to discuss Neymar’s punishment.
