Hotly, after the defeat conceded in Munich (1-0), there was a little anger in the Parisian ranks, and in particular among Marquinhos, who castigated the performance of Mr. Kovacs. “I don’t like to talk about the refereeing, but it was really difficult against us, railed the captain of the French champions on Canal+. He didn’t make it easy for us at all. All doubts have been resolved for Bayern Munich. »
Marquinhos especially mentioned the German goal, where he saw a foul by Musiala on Safonov. But he was perhaps also thinking of the red card received by Ousmane Dembélé. Already warned in the first period, the French international was sent off for a late tackle in the opposing area (56th).

There was more clumsiness than nastiness or danger in Dembélé’s gesture, and this sanction was considered severe by some observers. But, for once, the former FC Barcelona player placed himself in an unfortunate position with this first yellow card received before the break, for words exchanged with the referee.
This is the opinion of the player’s own half-brother, Oumar Sy Dembélé, who reacted live on social networks. “ But that’s normal. The way he spoke to the referee, that’s why he gave him the red. That’s why,” he cursed when his eldest received his red card. Deserved, then?
