former Barcelona and PSG\u00a0man had an evening to forget as his side were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by\u00a0Uzbekistani side Navbahor in their AFC Champions league opener.<\/p>\n<p>He made little impact and the frustration clearly got the better of him as he was involved in an incident with one of the opposition players.<\/p>\n<p>Neymar was seen shoving the player to the ground before purposely kicking the ball at him as he lay there.<\/p>\n<p>It came after the forward, who has just returned from injury, had been on the receiving end of a poor challenge from the\u00a0Navbahor
