Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano has rapped Neymar over his dismissal in defeat to Malaga.

Neymar is now facing suspension for the El Clasico against Real Madrid.

“Other players have done the same and have only had a one-game ban. As for Neymar, it's very easy to talk from your sofa. It's a different matter when you're on the pitch," said Mascherano during a press conference ahead of Barcelona's clash with Juventus.

“Yes, we make mistakes, I have done more than once, but you can only learn from your errors. But we don't point fingers at each other. The opposite, in fact. If something happens to one of us we group together and try to help them through any difficult situation."
