Tuesday, PSG challenged Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The Parisians lost (1-2) in this match despite having a numerical superiority for more than 45 minutes. At the very end of the first period, Luis Diaz was sent off after a nasty tackle on Achraf Hakimi who left his team in tears after a severe sprain. An injury which pushed the match referee to review his initial decision (he initially gave a yellow card).
But for former Real Madrid player Toni Kroos, Luis Diaz’s tackle did not deserve a red. “For me, it’s clear: it wasn’t a red card! The referee let Hakimi’s injury influence his assessment of the action. If Hakimi had gotten up after the contact, no one would have seen the action again. In this type of situation, the referee must judge the action itself, and not its consequences.he said in the podcast Einfach mal Luppen.
