The relevant authorities will meet to discuss the sanction to be handed down after Neymar struck a fan after loss to Rennes in France Cup final.
It was a moment of madness from Neymar that could cost him dearly. He appeared to strike a fan on his way up the steps to collect his runner-up medal after PSG's France Cup loss to Rennes. His sanction could be bigger than Mbappé's, who was sent off for a rash challenge late in the game.
The punishment could be as light as three games and as many as eight. Any sanction, however, will not be in place next weekend when PSG play against Nice in Ligue 1. It will start when they face Angers provided he is found guilty of the act, which many suspect he will.
Neymar and Mbappé frustration rises
His own manager, Thomas Tuchel lamented the act but stood beside his player, who was also recently suspended following a rant on Instagram after Manchester United knocked PSG out of the Champions League.
According to Le Parisien, Mbappé will be handed a three-game ban for his tackle at the weekend that saw him sent off. He will return to the field when PSG play Dijon in Paris.
The frustration on display from PSG's star stems from their recent form. They drew with Strabourg and lost 5-1 to Lille, before falling to Nantes in their last five games. The most recent display and loss means their hopes of a double are gone after picking up the Ligue 1 title with a win over Monaco last week.

To every story,there must be two sides just like the coin. Yes,Neymar's reaction was inappropriate but I believe the fan also said sth that agitated Neymar. So, pls let's not conclude on situations like this we have to check on both sides....

Too many headlines, on and off the pitch , both for wrong reasons and it's already worrying for the career of this mercurial Brazilian who during his time at Barcelona was touted as next balloon d'Or winner . But the moment he left Camp Nou for PSG his football career went sour , starting with issues with his teammate Cavani over penalty rights , rumours of exit , long injury layoffs and from one ban to another leaving him little time to enjoy his football , guess a return to Barcelona will definitely restore his happiness and personality. Good luck Neymar .

Y'all gotta quit attacking Neymar like y'all are so perfect, if you follow football in any way shape or form you've probably tried to start a fight at some point and we this is true, so before you start attacking Neymar I want every one of you to think if you're so perfect yourself or what you would do in his shoes when you're being hated on and off the field, and for what? diving? Messi and CR7 both do that but y'all still pray to them, leaving Barça? Well was there a problem with him leaving Santos? Neymar gets so much hate that he doesn't deserve you people are ridiculous

I guess Neymar and Cr7 should leave Football because same thing happened to cr7 when he touch a player's head. Fifa is so biased. If they leave then football would never be thesame without them. I believe their fans would stop watchingfootball as well.... this is just stupid

Neymar... why???? One issue after the other, you have the temper of a baby. If Neymar was more mature he would surely be one of if not the best player in the world. So much wasted potential. SMH...

I understand being penalized. But 8 games. He didn't really punch the guy. Futbol shoots teir foot tu spite their face. Very exaggerated.

though I'm not a Neymar fan (and I don't think I will ever be) but I know that he will never take an action for no reason the fan could've said something that is bad to Neymar they can't only take an action based on a one side story

My baller Neymar jr. take my I am one of your die hard fan , please take my advice and leave Fr immediately.There's noting good going on there for you.Whatever it cost you to leave,please make the sacrifice stand the loss and leave now.The deck is stacked against you,from the spectators to your own team mates , to referees,to officials.They all hate you because of your superstar abilities.Furthermore they are rooting for their countryman to win the Ballon d'or, so that's the reason you're being penalized so for ever simple thing that you do.So please oh great one take my advice and leave all those clowns in France at any cost.Things will be much better for you any where else you go.looking forward to seeing you in your new colors.J ah Bless.
