Four Paris Saint-Germain players have been punished for their involvement in homophobic chants from their fans.
However, new signing Randal Kolo Muani, former Dortmund players Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé as well as Layvin Kurzawa escaped with a black eye.
The French association’s disciplinary committee banned the top club’s quartet for one game each, but suspended the punishment.
At the hearing before the disciplinary chamber, the professionals showed remorse. “We seriously regret the words we never should have said. We let ourselves be seduced by the euphoria,” they shared. “We recognize the impact of our actions and will do everything we can in the future to live up to our commitment as role models.”
The club itself was also sanctioned for the fans’ behavior. He has to close a stand in the Prinzenparkstadion for a game. The club was placed on probation for another game.
