Experts in lip reading confirm that Álvaro called Neymar “monkey”

Various experts in lipreading have confirmed the racist insult which was the object Neymar during a dispute with Alvaro Gonzalez in the course of PSG – Olympique de Marseille and ensure that the Spanish called “monkey” al exblaugrana.

After studying the images that were recorded in the Park of the Princes, up to three specialists in lip reading have reached this conclusion in the program Spectacular Sport of the brazilian TV Globo.





One of these experts is Luis Felipe Ramos, a member of the Rio de Janeiro Deaf Association, who assures that this was the racist insult: “He says the word ‘monkey’ in Spanish the moment he speaks and turns his mouth. There it is clear. We could not, for example, understand what it says before this word, but the word ‘monkey’ was a passage in which we had consensus ”, he explains.

According to this medium, PSG will use these images in the process that has been opened in France to argue that Neymar was the victim of racist insults. The Brazilian footballer said after the meeting that Álvaro called him “monkey son of a bitch”, something that the Spanish has flatly denied on social networks.

PSG rushed to close ranks around their footballer ensuring that he “firmly supports Neymar Jr., who reported having been subjected to racist insults by an adversary.” Marseille’s response was immediate and he also positioned himself with his player, denying that Álvaro González is a racist and denouncing that the player had received threats after these accusations.



The episode has brought a tail and the French Federation has opened an investigation to clarify the facts. If it is confirmed that Álvaro uttered this racist insult to Neymar, he could face a 10-game sanction, according to French regulations.
