Neymar caused quite a stir on social media following the full-time whistle of PSG's 5-0 drubbing of Celtic at Celtic Park.
The Brazilian superstar scored the opener in the 19th minute but was embroiled in a heated rivalry with a young Celtic defender.
Neymar refused to shake the hand of 18-year-old Anthony Ralstonwho had been marking him in the Champions League opener.
The former Barcelona star was ctiticised for his behaviour after footage of his handshake rejection went viral.
WHY NEYMAR REFUSED THE HANDSHAKE
However, two videos have since emerged explaining why Neymar chose not to shake the hand of the Celtic academy star.
The young Scottish defender was booked in the 53rd minute for a disgusting challenge on Thiago Motta - he didn't even apologise for the tackle.
Another clip emerged in which Ralston was seen laughing hysterically in the face of Neymar after the Brazilian received a yellow card.
Neymar responded by reminding his opponent of the scoreline.
But despite Ralston's unarguably awful behaviour, should Neymar have shaken his hand regardless?
Brendan Rodgers(Celtic's Boss) praised the youngster after Celtic's 5-0 defeat, noting that he was up against the finest winger on the planet.
"I thought he [Ralston] was excellent tonight," said the Celtic boss. "He was playing against the best winger in the world and I thought he did very, very well against him."
The return match will take place in the Parc des Princes on November 22nd.
