PARIS ST-GERMAIN have confirmed that midfielder Thiago Motta has had his nose broken after a violent confrontation with Bastia striker Brandao.
The pair clashed in the tunnel as both teams headed for the dressing-rooms at full-time. PSG had won the game 2-0 with goals from Lucas Moura and Edinson Cavani.
Footage has emerged which appears to show Brandao head-butting the Italian.
