Currently third place in Ligue 1 and in an irregular phase, PSG took the field with a mixed team. The team’s top scorer this season, Kylian Mbappé was saved, replaced by Moise Kean, who joined Neymar.
Hunted during the match, Neymar received some tough arrivals from the rival team, but the most serious play was towards the end of the match, in the 51st half, when midfielder Thiago Mendes hit the PSG striker, who was still with his foot caught in the grass before collapsing onto the lawn of Parque dos Princes.
After reviewing the VAR, Thiago was expelled. To increase the apprehension of the commission and PSG teammates, Neymar had to be taken off the field on stretchers, while crying a lot.
In a post on his Instagram, Neymar’s father criticized the violent entries his son has suffered. Without mentioning Thiago Mendes, “Neymar Pai” also complains about the “scissors” suffered by the player, in addition to mentioning a possible rotation of fouls between opponents (a technique that consists of using different players to commit fouls on the same opponent, avoiding thus the cards for the Athletes).
There is no confirmation yet on the type or severity of Neymar’s left foot / ankle injury, but the scenario worries about the sequence of the ace in the Ligue 1 season, where he is one of the highlights of the French team.
Another concern is the return of the attacker to the Champions League playoff. The draw for the round of 16 takes place next Monday (14), with PSG being able to face Atlético de Madrid, Borussia Monchengladbach, Porto, Atalanta, Sevilla, Lazio or Barcelona. It should be remembered that the clashes only occur in February and March 2021, which would allow recovery from a less serious injury.
