However, former PSG player Nenê, currently injured, experienced an unexpected mishap when he exulted during his team’s second goal late in the match, leading to an episode that would land him in police custody.

Shards of glass and unfortunate consequences
Nenê’s euphoria, sitting among the fans in the stands due to his injury, took an unfortunate turn when his celebration ended with him punching a window, causing it to break and sending debris into the stands . Unfortunately, the wife of an opposing player, Chrystian Barletta, was slightly injured in the face by the shards of glass.
“A player of this level should not have such a childish reaction,” reacted the injured woman, expressing her dismay at the incident. Nenê was then quickly escorted out of the stadium by local authorities for questioning, says Brazilian journalist Menino Horácio. Several local fans also testified, reporting the scene to the authorities.

An end to his career in Serie A?
Despite this unfortunate incident, Nenê, 42, has been a major player in Juventude’s rise to Serie A this season. His notable performances, with 7 goals and 7 assists in 28 games, have greatly contributed to his team’s success this season.
Under contract until December 2023, Nenê is perhaps considering a contract extension to once again taste the joys of the elite of Brazilian football, which would be a more than hoped-for conclusion for a player who is already at his peak.
As a reminder, since his departure from PSG in 2013, the left-footer has gone through a series of clubs, passing through Qatar at Al-Gharafa, followed by a short stint at West Ham before returning definitively to Brazil, via Vasco, São Paulo , Fluminense, and finally Juventude which he managed to bring into the football elite.
With fond memories of his Parisian years.
