French refereeing faced a new controversy during Monaco – Paris Saint-Germain (2-4), Wednesday evening, during the 16th day of Ligue 1. François Letexier, who officiated during this clash between the 3rd and the championship leader, did not sanction Wilfried Singo after his sole on the face of Gianluigi Donnarumma, in the 17th minute. Disfigured, the Italian international had to give way to Matvey Safonov, before receiving several stitches.
Letexier’s decision not to sanction Singo, who had already been warned, did not please many observers. Saïd Ennjimi, former international referee, is one of these detractors. The 51-year-old man notably criticizes a “ lack of consistency “. “ For me, it’s worth direct red. Wilfried Singo, like Amine Harit (sent off by Letexier after a sole on Marquinhos during OM-PSG last October), probably didn’t want to hurt, but their foot was where it shouldn’t be. . Why don’t the VAR referees, who intervened against Harit, come and help Mr. Letexier there? “, he said in this Thursday’s edition of the newspaper The Team. Unlike after the OM-PSG match (0-3), Letexier refused to appear at the broadcaster’s microphone this Wednesday to explain his choice.
