While PSG snatched a draw against Lille (2-2) on Friday, after being down by two goals, the management of added time made the Mastiffs react strongly. The images of the “ref cam” (camera fixed on the referees), revealed by League 1+now allow you to return to the sequence. After the fall of Berk Ă–zer in the last minutes, Nabil Bentaleb asks Mr. Wattelier the remaining time. The referee then warns the Lille goalkeeper: “please stand up or we’ll add another minute of time.” If you don’t want another minute, get up. » Ă–zer finally gets up, before the referee announces to Bentaleb: “three minutes ago. »

A sequence which partly confirms the explanations given after the match by Bentaleb, who assured that the referee had warned Lille of a possible additional minute. “The referee said we lost a minute on their goal”had notably explained the Algerian environment. Despite this, frustration remained immense in the Lille camp, while Paris equalized in the last seconds. “It’s a scandal! »had released President Olivier Létang, while Benjamin André believed that “this last minute” had “killed” his team.
