It is an action that has caused a lot of ink to flow. During the match between AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain for the 16th day of Ligue 1. A match marked by the serious injury of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Indeed, on an outing at the feet of Wilfried Singo, the Monegasque defender came to wipe his crampons on the face of the Italian international. A shock of incredible violence. However, François Letexier, the field referee, did not give the Ivorian international a red card. Earlier today, the refereeing department returned to this incident and asserted that Wilfried Singo should have been excluded: “This situation therefore constitutes a gross fault within the meaning of law 12. The intervention of video assistance was expected to modify the initial decision and exclude the offending player”we can read. In addition, lunar exchanges between the man in black and the video referees have just been revealed.
“It’s in continuity, there is nothing”
His face stained with blood, Gianluigi Donnarumma remained on the ground for a long time after this big contact with Wilfried Singo. A few weeks after the meeting, the exchanges between the video referees have just been revealed. And it’s quite lunar: “It's in continuity, there's nothing. It's totally involuntary. He jumps over and there's a big contact behind. There's no extra-movement, he wants to 'avoid. He jumps over, unfortunately, he hits him. The consequences are enormous, of course, but we can't do anything. SFollowing this exchange and after long minutes of reflection, François Letexier decided not to sanction the Monegasque defender, even with a yellow card. Which caused a stir, particularly in the ranks of the capital club.
