The long-awaited Classic gave birth to a mouse last Sunday. Largely due to the controversial arbitration decision by François Letexier.
Even if Olympique de Marseille were already manhandled by Paris Saint-Germain before the exclusion of Amine Harit in the twentieth minute, the Classic no longer had any interest once the red card was shown by François Letexier.
After the match, the referee had the opportunity to confide in Florent Gautreau. “He is well aware of everything that has happened, it’s not very easy to get to sleep. But he maintains and fully accepts his decision, even if he said a very interesting sentence to me. He told me: ‘I don’t regret anything but I know very well that I ruined the show'”revealed the sports journalist, Monday evening, in “L’After Foot”.
An expulsion that is debated
Mr. Letexier came to the DAZN microphone to explain his decision after PSG’s victory (0-3). He had justified this by “stretched leg” of Harit “in the direction of his opponent’s torso.” “The trace of the crampons at the level of the sternum” de Marquinhos ended up convincing him to show the red card.
A justification which did not convince Roberto De Zerbi at all. However, the OM coach avoided developing too much on the subject in order not to
“not be punished behind”.
