Bayern Munich footballer on £62,000-a-week ordered to pay 88p damages for attacking girlfriend

A French international footballer has been ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend 88p (€1) damages after he admitted a domestic violence charge.

Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman, 21, attacked his then partner Sephora Goignan on two separate occasions at her home near Paris.

Meaux Criminal Court fined the winger €5,000 (£4,397) after he pleaded guilty to assaulting the model on 24 and 26 June.

Coman, who reportedly earns £62,000 a week, was also ordered to pay nominal damages of €1 to Ms Goignan, who is the mother of his 18-month-old daughter.

The footballer was reported to have assaulted his former partner after the couple rowed about an Instagram account at her house in Magny-le-Hongre.

The model's injuries left her unable to work for eight days, according to Le Parisien.

Ms Goignan told police she had also been threatened by Coman, who was arrested in June.

The pair were both present at the sentencing hearing on Thursday morning, when Coman was also ordered to pay Ms Goignan's legal fees.

He declined to comment after leaving court.
