NEYMAR was sent off for DIVING on his return to PSG action.
Just 19 days after Brazil crashed out of the World Cup, the winger took to the field against Strasbourg.
But Neymar lasted just 63 minutes.
He was first booked just past the hour-mark before he saw red moments later.
With the score 1-1, after Marquinhos had scored at both ends, Neymar tried to con referee Clement Turpin.
But his attempt at trying to win a penalty went horribly wrong as he was penalised.

He had been looking to make a positive return to club football following his disappointing World Cup that was overshadowed by an ankle injury.
But instead the forward was sent off for the FIFTH time in his PSG career.
