The French League announced that Neymar, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, and Álvaro González, Marseille defender, accused of racist statements during the two teams’ match in the local league, will not be sanctioned.
“The Disciplinary Committee of the French Football Association declared that it does not have sufficient evidence to allow it to prove the essence of the facts related to discriminatory language,” the association said in a statement on Wednesday.

Neymar was accused of exchanging racist and anti-gay statements towards the Spaniard González, and the other defender from Marseille, the Japanese Hiroki Sakai, while the Brazilian star Neymar claimed that the heart of the Spanish defense (González) described him as a monkey dirty and a “damn lions”.
The match between Paris Saint-Germain and their host Marseille on the third day of the French Football League, which was played on the 13th of this month, witnessed a great tension between the players of the two teams, which forced the referee to announce the yellow card five times in the first half and nine times in the second.
Tensions rose in the last sixth minute of injury time, with bilateral clashes between Argentines Leandro Paredes and Darío Benedetto on the one hand, and Jordan Amavi and Ivan Corzawa on the other, and the referee sent them off, the first two with the second card yellow, before Neymar sent him off for hitting Gonzales without the ball at the time of the match.
Neymar and Paredes suspended two games in the context of the red card, Corzawa six games and Amna three games, while the other Argentine, Ángel Di María, was suspended four games for spitting on González.
