By beating Bayern Munich this evening in the Champions League semi-final return (1-1), PSG validated its ticket to a second consecutive final. But the meeting could have gone the other way earlier in the game.
In the first half, the Bavarians requested an expulsion from Nuno Mendes for a handball, while the Portuguese had already received a yellow card for a foul on Olise. Joao Neves was then guilty of another handball in his area on a clearance from Vitinha, but Joao Pinheiro did not flinch. For Samir Nasri, the Portuguese referee was not up to the task this evening. “On the other hand, I didn’t find the referee good, I really didn’t find him good, I didn’t think he had a good match”he insisted at the microphone of Canal +.
