Paris Saint-Germain sent a video to the French government which, according to some lip-reading experts, confirms that Marseille’s defense Alvaro González used a racial slur against Neymar, prompting a fight in the field, Brazilian media reported.
A week after PSG’s 1-0 defeat to the most sensitive opponents, Neymar slapped Gonzalez in the back of the head, prompting a scrum that ended with the expulsion of five players. Brazilian Globo Esporte said the Brazilian superstar club had presented a video of the past Minutes to the League “to check that Neymar is a victim of racism. “
Brazilian news UOL said on Monday that he had shown the information.
Three Brazilian lip-reading experts interviewed via Globo TV on Sunday agreed that Gonzalez had called Neymar “monkey” – “monkey” in Spanish – just before the fight, after seeing him on French broadcaster Telefoot.
However, other lip-reading experts in local Spain in González analyzed the same tape and found no evidence that the defender had used a racial slur.
According to some Spanish media outlets, Neymar used a homophobic insult opposed to Gonzalez.
The French league, which suspended Neymar for two for the incident, has announced an investigation into his accusations, which Gonzalez denies.
