PSG helped by arbitration against OM?

If PSG largely dominated Olympique de Marseille (4-0) on the pitch at the Parc des Princes, some supporters did not fail to point out certain decisions by M Delajod, the referee of the match. The actors weren’t looking for excuses.

Olympique de Marseille is sinking into crisis. Because to the turmoil caused by the stormy meeting between the representatives of the supporters groups and the management and which led to the withdrawal of several leaders and the departure of Marcelino, was added the historic correction received by the Ciel et Blanc on Sunday , during the Classic. If the Marseillais had shown a combative face on Thursday on the pitch of Ajax Amsterdam, this time they completely foundered, conceding one of the club’s worst defeats against its historic rival.

Jacques Abardonado’s players were outclassed and had only one regret: the big opportunity missed by Vitinha while PSG still only led by one goal. Some supporters, however, found fault with Mr. Delajod’s refereeing. According to them, the fault at the origin of the free kick sent into the top corner by Achraf Hakimi for the first goal was non-existent and Randal Kolo Muani seemed to be in an offside position on the Moroccan’s strike on the post at the origin of the second achievement. And too bad if Kylian Mbappé ended up having to come out following the blow received on the foot and if the revealer showed at half-time that the former Nantes player was not offside.

But the feelings of the players or their coach were completely different and none of the players sought to take refuge behind the referee or any excuse. “ Paris played better than us, that’s the reality. Today it was 11 against 11 but in the end what we did in the match was just us. We could be proud in Amsterdam, today it was a disaster. It’s the truth, we have to accept it,” Pau Lopez told Prime Video. “No, there is no need to have excuses when you play this kind of match. We didn’t do the right thing, the truth is on the ground. Today they outclassed us, there is nothing more to say,” added Samuel Gigot,
