Every week has its share of blunders and refereeing controversies. This Ligue 1 weekend was obviously no exception to the rule. Like the closing match of the 17e championship lift between PSG and ASSE this Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes.
On the whistle for the occasion, Mr. Millot had to deal with the VAR twice in the first period. To validate a hand from Pétrot synonymous with a penalty on a cross from Hakimi (21e), First of all. Then to check the third Parisian goal then scored by Barcola (39e). An achievement initially confirmed and finally canceled for an alleged fault by the scorer on Bouchouari.
A fault difficult to see, even in slow motion
By observing the images of Barcola’s goal, Mr. Millot chose to follow the judgment of his assistant Mr. Gaillouste, who by requesting the use of video assistance considered that the action was the subject of an refereeing error manifest. The prerequisite for any use of VAR. However, at real speed or in slow motion, it is difficult to see Barcola’s famous mistake on Bouchouari…
Already the day before, the VAR had been zealous during the poster between Rennes and Marseille at Rhoazon Park. To encourage Mr. Kherradji to award a penalty to the Bretons and Kalimuendo. Then to encourage the latter to change his mind when he had just awarded a penalty to the Phocaeans for a handball from Gronbaek in a wall placed in the area. And yet, in both cases, there was no evidence of a blatant error by the referee.
