Ousmane Dembélé, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, saw red this Tuesday against Bayern Munich (1-0) in the Champions League. After picking up a yellow card in the first half, the Frenchman was sent off in the 56th minute for a late tackle on Alphonso Davies.
This exclusion will already cost the Parisian right winger his participation in the next trip to Salzburg, scheduled for December 10. But this incident also caused turmoil within the capital club.
Dembélé, a kick in the anthill
According to The Parisianthe decision of referee Istvan Kovacs divides. If some judge that he showed excess zeal, others point the finger at Dembélé, accused of a professional error which could have been avoided.
Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, did not mince his words on this subject. During the post-match press conference, the Asturian described this expulsion as “a serious error towards the collective”.
