Update 5:23 p.m .: Added Neymar’s reaction
Entered in the 86th minute during the semi-final of the Coupe de France on Wednesday night in Montpellier, Neymar received a yellow card just four minutes later, just before the winning penalty shootout for PSG. A warning that is expensive, since the Parisian number 10 is suspended for the final, announced this Friday the disciplinary committee of the FFF.
Appeal to the CNOSF?
The Brazilian was sentenced during his red card received in Lille in early April from three suspension games, including one suspended. This reprieve jumped in the event of a yellow card received within a certain period of time, which included the semi-final. The commission having met this Friday, the sanction takes effect from next Tuesday. A blow for Paris, which must face Monaco on Wednesday at Stade France.
The person responded in the afternoon, with an ironic comment. “I would like to understand the face of the guy who made the rule of cardboard boxes in France! This one deserves to be applauded. What confusion! ”He wrote on his Instagram account. PSG can still request conciliation from the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), a process that can suspend the decision of the FFF.
