Passed unnoticed during the meeting, this hand in the face from Dimitri Payet on Yannick Cahuzac, could finally be worth a sanction to the Marseille midfielder.
This Sunday, May 7, stood the clash of the 34th day of Ligue 1 between RC Lens and Olympique de Marseille. A meeting in which the Northerners won 2-1 in an electric match.
A match marked by several scuffles between players, but also with substitutes and staff. And among his various spats, that of the 24th minute made people talk.
After defender Agentin Facundo Medina cleared the ball in the direction of the Marseille bench, a confusion broke out between players, substitutes, staff and coaches. During this crowd of players, Dimitri Payet took the opportunity to slap Yannick Cahuzac, former player of Bastia, Toulouse and Lens, who is now part of the Lensois staff.

And if Cahuzac receives a red card, Dimitri Payet for his part remains unpunished and quietly finds the bench. He will even enter the match at 76′ and score the goal that reduces the score at 88′.
And as announced by our colleagues from The team, the LFP should not stop there with the Marseille midfielder. Dimitri Payet could indeed be sanctioned with four to five suspension games for this gesture.

A sanction which refers to an old case concerning the goalkeeper of Olympique Lyonnais, Anthony Lopes. In 2018, the Portuguese goalkeeper also slapped Oualid Baaloul, an OM steward. For this gesture, he had been suspended for five games.
If this sanction is applied to Dimitri Payet, it would mean that the season of the former West Ham midfielder would be over. A season that is coming to an end, and maybe more, since Payet still does not know if he will continue the adventure with the Olympian club.
