But he risked the wrath of UEFA after the game – as he broke their new ‘Return to Play’ protocol by swapping his shirt with Marcel Halstenberg.

The striker was filmed swapping shirts with the left-back in front of two officials in a seemingly innocent gesture.

The shirt swap goes against recent new guidelines designed to stop the spread of coronavirus and there were some suggestions he could be banned from the final as a result.

UEFA’s recent ‘Return to Play’ document states that “players are recommended to refrain from swapping their shirts”.

It adds that: “non-compliance with the obligations set out in the UEFA Protocol may lead to disciplinary measures in accordance with the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations.”

But, as shirt swapping is a recommendation rather than an obligation, it has been confirmed Neymar faces no further action.

Neymar does have history with UEFA.

He was handed a three-game ban and missed the start of this season’s competition after being charged with insulting match officials after their defeat to Manchester United in the last-16 the previous year.
