Renowned for his outspokenness, Bertrand Latour had several readings of the performance of
Paris Saint-Germain against PSV Eindhoven this week in the Champions League (1-1). For the Canal + journalist, Luis Enrique’s men should have benefited from a penalty at the end of the match.
“Injustices are part of football, thundered Bertrand Latour. But I put myself in the place of Luis Enrique or the Parisian players when they watch the replays, it’s extremely unfair. They will say to themselves: ‘There is a plot against us.’ The referee makes a decision. The images attest to this and we take the biscuit out of your mouth. It’s unbearable. He makes the right decision and his friends in the VAR put him in it. It’s still terrible. »
Bertrand Latour does not spare PSG
However, the journalist was not more tender with the Parisians. “The results are unworthy of their status. This match tells the limits of this team. They need 400 shots to score once. At some point, it won’t happen. If you are dependent on a possible penalty in the 93rd against PSV, there is a problem. Maybe there’s a penalty at the last second, but the problem is getting there. »
“If it was the story of a match, it wouldn’t be very serious. One evening, when the attackers are not effective, it can happen. The problem is that Ousmane Dembélé, this is not the first time that he has missed opportunities. Barcola is out. Lee, he plays in a position that is not his. That’s a lot“, concluded Latour in the Canal Champions Club.
