The Brazilian also accused the defender of making racist remarks. Now, as a video clip started to circulate on the internet, it seems that Alvaro Gonzalez is not only the only one to be blamed, Neymar also might have used a homophobic term.

A twist in the tale: Neymar makes homophobic remarks

Neymar

Neymar, the 28-year-old accused Alvaro Gonzalez of racism during their 1-0 defeat against the visitors. He was also sent off after he slapped the Marseille defender on his head.

A video clip of the 37th minute of the match started floating on social media which shows the verbal exchange between the two players. A Spanish network channel, Gol Tv tried adding the subtitles of the fallout.

Neymar had previously claimed that Alvaro Gonzalez made a racist comment as he called the Brazilian “monkey mother******” and that is the very reason why he lost his cool and smacked the defender. However, the Spanish defender denied making such remark.

But, as the subtitles in the video can be seen, the Brazilian striker might have said, “p*** maricon” to the Marseille defender, which literally translates to “f****ing queer” and that is a homophobic remark.

Below is the Tweet:
