The Disciplinary Committee of the French Ligue 1 ruled on the results of the scuffle in the match between PSG and Marseille.


PSG forward Neymar has been suspended for two matches and one more meeting conditionally.

Other participants in the scuffle were also punished.

His teammate Leandro Paredes received a similar disqualification to the Brazilian.

Livan Kurzawa from PSG has been suspended for six matches, Jordan Amavi from Marseille - for three games, his team-mate Dario Benedetto - for one meeting.

At the end of the match, Neymar hit Alvaro Gonzalez on the back of the head with his fist, for which he received a red card.

That episode provoked a massive brawl.

After the game, the Brazilian said that Gonzalez repeatedly insulted him on the basis of racism.

Earlier it was reported that Draxler's goal helped PSG win the Ligue 1 match with Metz.
