Neymar sat out the game due to an injury and as a result his team, PSG blew a 2-0 lead.

Neymur was suspended for three games after publicly critcizing a penalty decision.

“It’s a disgrace. Four guys who know nothing about football watch a slow-motion replay in front of the television,” he said. (h/t BBC) “What can [Kimpembe] do with his hand while his back is turned?”

There is no word if the punishment will be increased due to the new video.
