The mentioned publication, under the name of 'Neymar's dark side', compiled some of the world's priciest player's most problematic moments including up to eight red cards, numbers that surpass those of players renowned for their conflictive nature.
It all began on June 20, 2011, when the forward was sent off at the age of 19 for a rash sliding challenge.
The second time he was sent for an early bath came in the Copa Libertadores clash where Santos played Colo Colo. He celebrated a goal with a mask of himself he got from the stands but which turned out to be distributed by one of his sponsors. He left the pitch practically in tears believing he did not deserve a second yellow.
Three months after the incident, Neymar was booked for contempt away at Atletico Mineiro. The Brazilian star applauded the referee's decision and received a second yellow card.
The winger was heavily criticised by his manager and he promised it would never happen again, but it did. Las season, Neymar was given his marching orders at Malaga after clapping sarcastically at the referee and Barcelona had to make do without the Brazilian ace for three matches.
'L'Equipe' also recalled another incident in 2010, even though Neymar did not see red on that occasion. He insulted then-manager Dorival Junior a week before he was fired by Santos.
In 2012, the referee brandished a straight red after Neymar stomped on an opponent, and in 2013 Santos were again down to ten men after their star youngster clashed with a Ponte Preta player.
To date the only red card with his national team, the forward was dismissed for headbutting Colombia's Murillo in Brazil's Copa America fixture in 2015.
On Sunday, Neymar was sent off in the 87th minute against Marseille for a shove on Ocampos, who made the most of the Brazilian's short temper. They were both booked, but it meant Neymar's game once again came to an early conclusion.
