Monaco forward Paris Brunner could face disciplinary action after making a throat-slitting gesture toward Strasbourg supporters while celebrating his equalizer during Saturday’s 1-1 Ligue 1 draw.
Incident Referred to Disciplinary Committee
According to L’Équipe, the National Ethics Council has formally referred the incident to the league’s disciplinary committee for review. The governing body will now determine whether Brunner’s celebration warrants a suspension.
The German youth international scored to level the match at Stade de la Meinau, but his goal celebration — directing a threatening hand gesture across his throat toward the home crowd — has overshadowed the result.
Potential Sanctions Loom
French football authorities take such gestures seriously, particularly when directed at opposing supporters. Previous cases involving similar conduct have resulted in multi-match bans. The disciplinary committee’s decision is expected in the coming days.
Monaco has not yet issued an official statement regarding the player’s conduct or the pending disciplinary proceedings.
