Neymar has been suspended for three games, one of which is conditional, for his behavior during and after the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille OSC (0-1) in the Ligue 1. The attacker got two yellow cards in the top match and hit after the whistle almost clashed with opponent Tiago Djaló in the tunnel. The Lille defender has been suspended for one game.
The suspension was announced just before the Champions League match between Bayern Munich and PSG, in which Neymar is currently participating. Neymar received a yellow card at the start and at the end of the second half on Saturday. His second print was the result of a violation on Djalo. The star player of PSG wanted to take the ball from the defender and delivered a push. Djaló also received his second yellow card from referee Benoît Bastien, because he would have held the ball for too long.

The quarrel between the two players had not cooled off afterwards, as it turned out when the players walked towards the dressing rooms. Neymar and Djalo became involved in an altercation that continued in the tunnel. At one point, Neymar tried to wrestle himself from the club officials to visit Djalo, but failed. One of the officials who restrained Djalo did fall over, after which the Lille defender also seemed to fall. The images were captured by Canal +.
Neymar already received his third red card in the last fourteen league matches. Normally, a red card after two yellow prints leads to a suspension of one game, but the disciplinary body within the Ligue 1 finds a suspension of three games, one of which is conditional, in this case appropriate. As a result, the Brazilian is missing in the away match against Strasbourg on Saturday and will also be sidelined against Saint-Étienne on Sunday, April 18. Djalo will not be there when Lille visits FC Metz on Friday. His club is in the lead in Ligue 1, three points ahead of PSG.
