Paris Saint-Germain continues its march forward. Four days after its demonstration on the pitch of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, the capital club won without trembling against Brest (0-3), this Saturday at the Francis-Le Blé stadium. A controlled success, but without relief according to some observers.

Pierre Ménès, faithful to his outspokenness, did not hide his annoyance at the ease of PSG and the lack of opposition from their opponents in Ligue 1. On his YouTube channel, the former Canal+ journalist made a bitter observation: “PSG in tap dancing won 0-3 in Brest. It becomes boring, worrying, painful. Paris played a training match at best, a clean-up match at worst. »

Mickaël Landreau mentioned again

But beyond the level of play, Pierre Ménès also got angry with the refereeing of Jérémie Pignard. The journalist particularly singled out the management of the penalty awarded to Brest in the second half, after an interminable wait due to VAR. “The only moment we had fun in the match was when Jérémie Pignard took 7 minutes to award a penalty for a handball from the horrible Kang-in Lee, who signaled his presence with this action”he quipped.

The former consultant also questioned the interpretation of the rule: “ The referees and their representative, the incredible Mickaël Landreau, would still need to clarify how this happens on penalties. Because it seemed that when the ball was already touched by another part of the body, there was no hand. It's still incredible that the referee took 5 minutes to watch the video. It doesn't make any sense. » A resounding rant, like Pierre Ménès tired of the lack of suspense
