Neymar could reportedly face a seven-match ban for punching Alvaro Gonzalez after he accused the Spaniard of racism.

The Brazilian superstar was sent off for Paris Saint-Germain after VAR found that he had thrown a punch at Gonzalez, before the Brazilian insisted that the Marseille defender was racially abusive towards him.

The governing body of professional football in France, the LFP, will now review the incident before handing out its suspension for the Brazilian, with the organization's regulations stating that the Brazilian could be banned for as many as seven matches, according to French sports outlet RMC Sport.

As cited by RMC Sport, 'An aggressive action committed outside of a game set and without causing injury to the opponent can lead to the suspension of seven games'.

However if the reason for the dismissal is an attempted assault, he could face a ban of up to six games.'

They are also investigating the claims made about Gonzalez, and if he is found guilty of racism he could face up to a ten-game ban.

Marseille ran out 1-0 winners in a heated derby that saw five players sent off while 12 others were given yellow cards after a mass brawl broke out during the game at the Parc des Princes.

Neymar alleged that Gonzalez called him a 'monkey motherf*****', which infuriated the £208m star and resulted in him throwing a punch at his rival.

Television footage and a pitchside microphone appear to have caught Neymar pointing at the centre back in question and shouting: 'Racism, no?'

'VAR catching my "aggression” is easy... now I want to see the image of the racist calling me a monkey motherf*****,' he tweeted after the game.

Before uncovering what Gonzalez had allegedly called him on the field, Neymar also tweeted: 'My only regret is not hitting that a****** in the face.'

The Spaniard responded to the allegation on social media, labelling Neymar a 'bad loser' before the Brazilian responded to Gonzalez's denial of the allegation.

'There is no place for racism... Sometimes you have to learn to lose and take it on the field. Incredible 3 points today. Allez l'OM. Thanks family,' Gonzalez tweeted alongside a picture of himself with his team-mates.

'You are not a man to assume your mistake, losing is part of the sport. Now insulting and bringing racism into our lives no, I don't agree,' Neymar responded on Twitter.

'I DON'T RESPECT YOU! YOU HAVE NO CHARACTER! Assume what you say mermon ... be a MAN RAPÁ! RACIST'.

Andre Villas-Boas, the Marseille boss, said he hoped that racism had not further marred the clash. He told Telefoot: 'I do not know, I hope not, I hope that nothing has happened'.

Neymar and Gonzalez's clash came in the midst of a mass brawl that was sparked by Marseille's Dario Benedetto and PSG midfielder Leandro Paredes following a challenge with the visitors leading by a single goal.

The attempts to restore calm from the man in the middle fell on deaf ears. Layvin Kurzawa and Jordan Amavi were also caught striking out at each other with punches, with referee Jerome Brisard showing the pair straight red cards too.

Gonzalez Should've tried against these two WWE Superstars (Ramos & Pepe) or Zlatan. That would've calmed him

The dude is more than a racist

Neymar perhaps over reacted but a 7 game ban is too much.

Is too much that guy is the eye if that league

Racism is worse than cancer.

still following the story and what caught my attention was neyma saying "its very easy for var to get him and punish him bt still waiting for dt same var to catch Gonzales racist slur"
we all know dt the European body knows all about this racism happening and since its a footballer involved they would try to bury the case by giving neyma minimal match ban even if the racist is guilty...
racism cant be eradicated in football, all black players should try and get used it and also neyma should start following daniel alves way..
dani alves once said "he was suffering from racism from his first day in Europe and he av gotten soo used to it dt he sometimes do dt "monkey dance" for the racist when insulted so that his own kids too can get used to it"....
alves eatin a banana dt was thrown at him on the pitch was totall crazy n d stupid lineman was telling him to stop eating it...

Nawa

If only he succeeded in kicking his balls.
.

Neymar is a overrated MF who don't know shit bout football but to dey form fine boy with swag..

@29, zero ballon d'or..
Zero European golden boat..
Zero glory for football..
Ronaldo/Messi @29 were beast, aliens, gods and wonders..

I wonder why they always rate him 3rd

Alvaro Gonzalez should be transfered to the English Premier League, make dem teach am small manners...

They should have banned him forever. Bastard

7 games ban is not enough, both of the should be docked four weeks wages

okay

How can the acclaimed racist words of Gonzalez be proven when there are no microphones on players?

Na dem sabi. Life is hard right now for me to bother about millionaires having a spat.

To everyone willing to invest huge money try and use "Neymar" as a prayer point. May we not purchase a neymatic apparatus amen

PSG is in trouble

Make you pity him na.

Let the french lique 1 authorities do the needful

That’s too much of a ban for him
