João Neves certainly starred in one of the most viral moments of the Champions League playoff. Present at the match between PSG and Monaco, where the European champion advanced, the former Benfica star made headlines worldwide after 'running over' the match referee.

According to images captured by DAZN Portugal, the moment happened during a counterattack by the Monegasques, and João Neves, in defensive transition, sought to contest the ball. The problem? The match referee, István Kovács, was literally in the Portuguese player's path and ended up being knocked down by him.

"If it's João Neves defending, get out of the way. Even if you're the referee 😅", wrote the official DAZN Portugal page on the social network X, highlighting the comical moment starring the Parisian's number 87. Besides 'running over' the match official, the ex-Benfica player also complained about the situation.

The situation went viral on the internet, and it didn't take long for comparisons to arise with another video, where a boy on his skateboard yells at the cameraman filming him: "Get out of the way, Guedes!" Now, the moment in question has been dubbed 'Get out of Neves' way'.
