Neymar and Álvaro González, acquitted

Neymar Jr and Álvaro González they have been saved from an unprecedented sanction in French football. The Disciplinary Commission of the LFP has given its verdict ha few minutes ago in which finally has acquitted both players due to the lack of evidence of the images loaned both by PSG and Olympique de Marseille. The Spanish player expressed himself on Twitter after the decision was known: “This bad dream is, in part, rewarded with a sentence more than deserved. I have never been and never will be a racist person. Many thanks to Olympique de Marseille for their trust and loyalty, also to our great fans for so much love. See you on the grass! “

Both Álvaro and Neymar had been accused of racism and the Disciplinary Commission of the LFP has not seen enough evidence to condemn them. The Marseille central defender and the PSG attacker were facing a possible ten-game penalty, 20 for Neymar if we take into account that he had also been accused of homophobia.

Thus ends a Soap opera that has been the front page of all the national media in France for two weeks. Álvaro González was initially accused of racism by Neymar and Marseille counterattacked by providing images in which he claimed that Neymar had spilled racist insults at Sakai. The latter has not yet been studied and only the direct conflict between the Spanish and Brazilian central defender has been taken into account. Even so, it is a decision that has drawn much criticism due to the uproar generated in recent days.
