Neymar was sent off from the meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg this Wednesday evening (2-1, 16th matchday of Ligue 1) after receiving two yellow cards in two minutes. This Thursday, Prime Video reveals the exchanges between Clément Turpin, Kylian Mbappé and the Brazilian striker after this red card.
This is one of the highlights of PSG’s great return to competition: for his recovery in Ligue 1 after the painful elimination of Brazil in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, Neymar experienced a rather delicate first night on Wednesday night being sent off in the second half against Strasbourg (2-1, 16th matchday of Ligue 1).

Yellow-carded in the 61st minute for putting his hands in Adrien Thomasson’s face, the Parisian striker received a second yellow card two minutes later for a simulation in the Alsatian area. Clément Turpin, referee for the match, didn’t hesitate long before pulling a red card out of his pocket.
Mbappé: “He didn’t say anything! He didn’t ask for anything!”
“You can’t give red, you can’t give red,” then he threw Kylian Mbappé at Clément Turpin. While Neymar gets a little too close to ask for explanations, the referee tries to clean up around him. “Go away! Vai là (“go there”)”, the officer throws at the Brazilian, who he ends up executing.
“He didn’t say anything! He didn’t ask for anything!”, then tries to justify Kylian Mbappé to plead the cause of his teammate who, according to him, didn’t deserve to be booked a second time for simulation because he didn’t claim guilt with the referee. It will not be: inflexible, Clément Turpin maintains his decision.
The LFP disciplinary committee will look into Neymar’s case on Friday, according to information from RMC Sport. The 30-year-old should automatically miss Sunday night’s match against Lens (8.45pm) ahead of matchday 17 of Ligue 1.
