PSG Hernandez: UEFA Reversal Explained

After his very nasty nudge during PSG – Tottenham (5-3), Lucas Hernandez sees his sanction reduced.

A real nudge! At the end of the match during PSG – Tottenham (5-3), Lucas Hernandez completely lost his nerve and made a very nasty gesture towards the former Parisian now with Spurs, Xavi Simons. Logically, UEFA had decided to impose a 3-match sanction on the 2018 World Champion PSG. However, Luis Diaz had seen his sanction reduced, a reason for hope for Lucas Hernandez.

Lucas Hernandez only takes 2 games

This Friday, December 19, UEFA changed its mind. On appeal, the PSG defender sees his sentence reduced from three to two suspension games. Suspended against Bilbao (0-0), Lucas Hernandez has only one match left and it will be against Sporting. The Parisian defender will be able to play the last match of the LDC league phase against Newcastle on January 28.
