Neymar Jnr Stands-a-Chance-to-be-Dropped-in-the-Final-After-Breaking-the-Coronavirus-Rule
Neymar Jnr could be suspended for the Champions League final after because of what he did in the 3-0 defeat to German Bundesliga side yesterday in the Champions League semi-final, swapping shirts following Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-0 win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday.
The Brazilian star broke UEFA’s coronavirus protocol rule as he was caught on camera exchanging his shirts with Leipzig player Marcel Halstenberg. According to UEFA’s 31-page ‘Return to play protocol’, issued earlier this month, it states: “Players are recommended to refrain from swapping their shirts.” ”It adds that non-compliance with the obligations “may lead to disciplinary measures in accordance with the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations.”
According to reports before the competition’s return from the Covid-19 shutdown, swapping shirts during the Lisbon mini-tournament would result in a 12-day period of self-isolation. UEFA’s official protocol does not explicitly address a period of isolation in cases of shirt-swapping.
But with PSG now facing Bayern Munich or Lyon in the final as they have already qualified, on Wednesday night, which is just five days away it means Neymar Jnr could miss the final all things been equal. The world-record £198million signing hit the post twice in the first half before providing a clever assist for PSG team-mate Angel Di Maria to put his side 2-0 up.
Neymar Jnr has been a very part in the Paris Saint Germain team in the 2019/20 Champions League, if he is given a match ban because of his action, his absence will affect the n a very bad way and that’s what not just Paris Saint Germain teams but also football lovers do not want.
