Paris Saint-German’s Neymar and Marseille’s Alvaro
Gonzalez have avoided punishment after allegedly making racist and
homophobic remarks in the meeting between the sides earlier this
month, the French league (LFP) announced on Wednesday.
The world’s most expensive player was accused of making the
remarks towards Marseille’s Japan right-back Hiroki Sakai and
Gonzalez.
The Brazil attacker claimed the Spanish centre-back had called
him a “monkey”.

“The disciplinary commission states that it does not have
sufficient proof to allow it to establish the substance of the
facts concerning discriminatory language,” the LFP said.
Marseille’s victory at Parc des Princes on September 13 was
marred by an injury-time scuffle which saw five players
red-carded.
Neymar was sent off for slapping Gonzalez on the back of the
head and was given a two-match ban for the incident.
Last week, PSG’s Angel Di Maria received a four-match ban for
spitting during the fixture.
