The Argentine international was replaced by Mauricio Pochettino shortly after the game, after a strange scene in which Leonardo, Paris sporting director, communicated the bad news to the PSG coach, who communicated it to the player while taking him back to the locker room .
A visibly upset Di Maria left the Parc des Princes to run home to be with his family.
The police have opened an investigation and the club will offer its full support to the two players and their families.
Di Maria had a similar experience while playing for Manchester United in 2015, when he and his family were victims of an assault attempt.
