Will Neymar be banned for the Champions League final for swapping shirts?
After celebrating with his team-mates, BT Sport cameras picked up footage of him swapping shirts with Marcel Halstenberg of RB Leipzig.

According to UEFA's COVID-19 guidelines, players are prohibited from swapping shirts in order to limit the risk of the virus spreading.

The UEFA ‘Return to Football’ guidelines state that any player swapping shirts could end up being banned for a game.

14.8 of the protocol says: "Shirt-swapping - Players are recommended to refrain from swapping their shirts."

Reports also suggest the player in question would end up being placed in a mandatory 12-day isolation period.
