PSG: Angel Di Maria suspended three matches in the Champions League

2021-09-08T09:02:32.345Z


The winger received a three-game suspension following his dangerous gesture on Fernandinho on May 4.


Paris Saint-Germain start their European campaign in Bruges next week.

It will be without Angel Di Maria, suspended for three games.

The facts go back to May 4 and the semi-final against Manchester City.

PSG are on the road to the Etihad Stadium.

The 33-year-old winger was then sent off in the 69th minute, following a dangerous gesture on Fernandinho.

The Parisians had lost the meeting 2-0, reduced to 10.

The UEFA sanction fell on June 8, but went relatively unnoticed.

The Culture site PSG recalls today that the Argentinian must serve three games of suspension.

Di Maria will therefore miss the first match against Bruges on September 15, the home shock against Manchester City on October 28.

His sanction will end after the meeting with Leipzig on October 19.

He will be able to return to European lawns on November 3, with the Germans.

The first match without Gueye either

Idrissa Gana Gueye will also be absent from the pitch in Bruges.

The Parisian midfielder was excluded in the semi-final first leg, then sanctioned over two matches.

The Senegalese served first in the semi-final return leg.

The UEFA report also points to the financial sanctions imposed on PSG. The club must pay a fine of 16,000 euros for the incorrect behavior of the team as a whole, as well as 35,000 euros for being responsible for the delay in one of the two kick-offs. Mauricio Pochettino is directly responsible for this delay. But it is Paris Saint-Germain who must pay the fine within 90 days of the official announcement.
