In addition to a meager point without much flavor brought back by the Parisians from Benfica, Wednesday evening, in the Champions League, the Rouge et Bleu could have returned to France with one player less, and not the least since it is by Marco Verratti.
In the fight with Enzo Fernandez for a ball at the level of the central circle, the Italian saw the Benfiquist player take his shin for a doormat and only collect a yellow card (which should certainly have turned red).
Asked after the meeting at the microphone of Canal +, the Little Owl expressed his incomprehension.
"I spoke with the referee, I don't understand anything about football anymore," he said.
At the start of the Championship, they hold meetings with us to explain to us that if we put our foot like that above the ankle, it's a red card.
He said there was no intensity.
I have a swollen ankle.
If there is more intensity, it's broken, but hey…”
Galtier points the finger at VAR
In a press conference, a few minutes later, Christophe Galtier confirmed that we had not gone far from a much more serious injury, but preferred to partly clear the referee.
"He was not helped by VAR," he said.
Marco Verratti may have a broken leg.
The referee may be wrong but he should have been alerted by his assistants since the opposing player puts both feet on Marco's leg”.
