Neymar hit with three-match ban for punching Rennes fan

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has been handed a three-match suspension after punching a Rennes supporter in the aftermath of his side's Coupe de France final defeat.

The Ligue 1 champions were beaten 9-8 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at Stade de France as their hopes of a domestic double were dashed.

Neymar was then videoed attacking a fan on his way to collect his runners-up medal as the PSG team were ridiculed by the jubilant Rennes support.

The French Football Federation have now announced that the world's most expensive players will be forced to miss three domestic matches, with a further two matches suspended.
