PSG's Neymar awaits LFP disciplinary decision after referee confrontation
As reported by L’Equipe, Ligue de Football Professionnel’s (LFP) Disciplinary Committee will meet this Thursday to determine whether to take action against Neymar.
Neymar could reportedly face sanction over his confrontation with referee Jerome Brisard in the tunnel during PSG’s game with Montpellier on Saturday.
Neymar had already clashed with the match official during the first half, after Brisard handed him a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behaviour because of his showboating. And the PSG star was clearly still angry about the situation at half-time.
"Calm down, my arse!"
