Neymar, one of the five players, fought a brawl after Paris Saint German lost to Marseille 1-0.
Layvin Kurzawa and Leandro Paredes were also shown the PSG red card, and Jordan Amabi and Dario Benedetto were given a march order to Marseille.
Neymar was sent off after colliding with Alvaro Gonzalez in close quarters.
When the Brazilian left the Parc des Princes pitch, he was seen telling a fourth employee that he had been racist.
Marseille’s boss André Villas-Boas could not confirm Neymar’s claim, but told the media that “racism is unacceptable in football.”
