PARIS:
Paris St Germain striker Neymar has been suspended for 3 Champions League games for insulting match officials following the French side’s elimination from the Champions League, UEFA said on Friday.

Neymar labelled the video assistant referee system a ‘disgrace’ after Manchester United were awarded a decisive last-gap penalty at the Parc des Princes to advance into the quarter-finals on away goals.

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel had said the Brazilian made his comments in the heat of the moment, hinting he should not be sanctioned.
