Olympique de Marseille could feed regrets after their defeat conceded on the lawn of Santiago Bernabeu (2-1) on Tuesday for its major reunions with the Champions League. Despite a catastrophic start to the match, OM has finally bowed on a penalty to say the least in the 81e
Minute, transformed by Kylian Mbappé, who had already equalized in the first period on a first penalty.
While the Marseillais evolved in numerical superiority following the exclusion of Dani Carvajal for a whim on Geronimo Rulli, the referee of the meeting, the Bosnian Irfan Peljto, sanctioned a hand of Facundo Medina in its surface. But if he did touch the ball with the ball, the Argentinian was on the ground …
“It's a shameful penalty, Enraged Roberto de Zerbi at the end of the meeting. He is not there. I would also have said that if he had been whistled for us. For me, it's not a penalty, never. Neither at Bernabeu, nor at the Vélodrome, Nor at Real Sociedad, nowhere. And I have no ulterior motives, I don't want to make controversy. I just say that there was no penalty. Point. »»
At OM, Medhi Benatia has it so bad
And misunderstanding was the same at Medhi Benatia even if the Marseille sports director was less virulent in his words.
“It's a little hard. I will not say that it is an imaginary penalty because we see that there is a contact with the hand. But the player tackles, he plays the ball … “he said in remarks reported by RMC.
“We can see that he only plays the ball and being on the ground, he has the ball which touches his hand a little. It seems very severe to me. I could be wrong, but losing like that is a little annoying ”he continued.
