At the Parc des Princes,

Dilemma of poorly classified when traveling to Paris: better take the derailment of his life at the Park or touch the feat with your fingertips before seeing it fly away as quickly as it happened?

When you are barragist like Lorient, the encouraging defeats are worth almost a point and the players of Christophe Pélissier could have been satisfied to have annoyed the champion of France on his lawn if they did not remain with the bitter taste of injustice .

50th minute of play. After a first half unworthy of its status where it would not have been unfair to see Sergio Rico looking for one or two balls in the back of his net, Paris Saint-Germain passed the second on the restart.

Rafinha intercepts a balloon in the midfield and launches the Mbappé rocket into orbit.

Untouchable, the French striker disappears with the ball in the Lorient area and pushes Gravillon to the fault.

The referee, Johan Hamel, points to the penalty spot and, to everyone's surprise, takes out the red card without going through the VAR box.

Kyky does himself justice and puts the opponent in a bad position.

"I find it very severe," sighs Paul Nardi at a press conference.

There isn't really much, and it's added frustration with this decision.

»His trainer goes there more frankly:

“This fact of refereeing is killing us the game.

It is a decision that does not allow us to succeed in this match.

In reality, even the penalty seems limited to me, but he (Mbappé) plays the shot well.

I had no explanation from the referee for the double fault.

It's fraught with consequences, but you can never say anything.

"

Admission of weakness and pride

We will never know what the Hake would or would not have done if they had stayed at eleven.

The penalty does exist and they should have discovered anyway to make up for their goal.

But nonetheless, adds Nardi, “We are at the Park, against PSG, we are promoted and at ten, it does a lot of things against us.

Very quickly, the admission of weakness turns into pride.

“We reacted well to this stab that we received.

But this team, in a big day with these players, if they wanted to, they could have killed us.

There double trouble took care of it for them.
