Amine Harit’s red card in the 20th minute ignites the debates. Justified or not, this decision by the referee of the match, François Letexier, completely ruined the interest of the match. A game fact that drove Daniel Riolo crazy this Sunday evening, in RMC’s After. The 61-year-old editorialist directly attacked French refereeing and its overly robotic side.
“There is not a single person this evening who says to themselves that this is not an anomaly. It’s incomprehensible, it ruins a spectacle, it ruins a match for a strict and stupid application of the rules. It’s infuriating, we see it too often, there is no dialogue. It’s not in phase with the game, it’s not what the game demands.”Riolo criticized the 35-year-old referee.
