PSG want player banned for attack on Motta after game
Paris Saint-Germain's president has called for a lifetime ban on Bastia striker Brandao after he was seen on camera attacking Thiago Motta.
The incident took place in the tunnel of the Parc des Princes after goals from Lucas Moura and Edinson Cavani gave the French champions a 2-0 win.
Footage showed Brandao lurking around before he moved to confront Motta...
...and seemingly head-butt the Italy international in the face. The Brazilian forward then took flight.
Ouch.
The attack left Motta with blood pouring from his nose, which is suspected to be broken, according to the Mail Online.
Needless to say, don't watch the video below if you're squeamish at the sight of blood...
The Parisian club's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi confirmed that they would be filing a complaint against the 34-year-old with the French Football Federation and said: "Brandao should be suspended for life - he is not a football player."
