I Made a Mistake, I Deserve the Punishment: Angel Di Maria

PSG midfielder Angel Di Maria has commented on his four-match suspension for spitting at Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez. The decision was made by the disciplinary committee of the French Professional Football League. The incident occurred during the Ligue 1 match against Marseille in the third round.

"Given that we won't be playing for a whole week, the suspension will last longer. My actions were a response to the words I heard. I didn't like them. I must take responsibility. I made a mistake. I deserve the punishment. I understand the situation related to the coronavirus. I've also been told that they heard my point of view," Di Maria's words are conveyed by radiocut.fm.
