The forward was sacrificed for Xavi on Saturday against Sevilla and responded with several angry gestures on the bench.

Barcelona’s vice-president Jordi Mestre has admitted he didn’t understand Luis Enrique’s decision to substitute Neymar during the club’s 2-2 draw at Sevilla. Neymar was replaced by Xavi on 74 minutes and showed his displeasure at being brought off by throwing his boots to the floor and making several angry gestures. Mestre told Canal+: “I don’t know why Neymar was changed. He had played a great match and scored a goal. Only Luis Enrique knows his motives. We had a fantastic half but the game was very challenging and we’re satisfied with winning a point.”
