“Lyon” defender Thiago Mendes suffered a serious foul against PSG's Neymar. “Ligue 1” team head coach Rudi Garcia and the athlete's wife revealed that the Brazilian received threatening messages from fans. “If something happens to Neymar because of your boyfriend's actions, you will pay for it for the rest of your life. You and your family, one by one,” Kelly quoted one message. “Thiago received numerous death threats and it is not appropriate to behave like that. These days we allow ourselves to insult and say awful things. T. Mendes was expelled from the field in Paris and I do not like the uproar that arose from this incident, as the player was trying to reach the ball. He was unlucky to catch Neymar's foot,” R. Garcia insisted. For now, it is announced that the PSG forward avoided a serious injury and will not play for a couple of weeks.
