Everyone knows what prompts Neymar Júnior to “escape” to his country: the Carnival party, his famous sister’s birthday… or New Year’s Eve.
Therefore, the red card (after two yellows) received by him in the match against Strasbourg is viewed with great suspicion. Neymar was booked twice in the space of a few moments and will miss the match against Lens scheduled for January 1 due to suspension.
There have already been rumors in France that the “former” star of the “Blaugrana” took the cards on purpose, as he planned to travel to his hometown on the occasion of the turn of the year.
Neymar showed good form after the injury suffered in Qatar. He assisted his compatriot Marquinhos for his team’s first goal. However, in the blink of an eye, about five minutes after the equalizer was scored, he was forced to go to the dressing room (the fifth time he has been sent off at PSG).
First, he hit Thomasson in the face and received the first yellow card. Just after a minute, he faked a penalty, with referee Clément Turpin not hesitating to sanction him with a second yellow.
