PSG players and management had a lot on Tuesday night after the defeat to Manchester City (2-0), in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. Not only this setback, combined with the failure to go to the Park (1-2), sealed the end of the European adventure of the Parisians, but in addition, several of them complained of having been insulted by the referee.
A priori, Bjorn Kuippers does not have too much to worry about. Questioned through The team, UEFA has indicated that it does not wish to comment on the matter. But according to the daily, there would be no planned investigation against the 48-year-old Dutch whistle, who can therefore calmly prepare for the Euro, for which he was selected like 17 other colleagues.
Parisians sanctioned?
On the other hand, PSG players could soon have news from the disciplinary committee: Angel di Maria of course, expelled from the Etihad Stadium, but also some of his teammates, who would have used harsh words to address Bjorn Kuippers.
