This Saturday, PSG logically dominated RC Lens in Ligue 1. But game action does not go unnoticed by Sang et Or fans and observers.
PSG continues its progress in Ligue 1. Luis Enrique's men are first with 6 points ahead of their runner-up, all without having lost a single match in the league. This Saturday at the Parc des Princes, the capital club got the better of RC Lens. PSG will have produced a great collective performance, even if the lack of efficiency of the Parisians remains a major problem. When receiving the Sang et Or, Paris could also have inherited a red card following an inappropriate gesture by Marquinhos on Anass Zaroury. The Brazilian voluntarily charged the Lensois, tired of the fact that the referee of the match had not initially called a foul by Kodir Khusanov on Achraf Hakimi.
An illogical decision?
Marquinhos received a yellow card for his charge, before the referee of the match was called by the Var and logically gave Khusanov a red. However, for the Sang et Or, it is not normal that the VAR referees have also not decided to impose the same sanction on the former AS Roma player. On social networks, many Internet users have denounced this problem. And Bruno Derrien, former international referee, is one of them, who posted via X: « Khusanov's red after VAR intervention seems indisputable to me. In the wake of this fault not immediately sanctioned by Delajod, there is another from Marquinhos on a Lensois. Was it viewed by VAR? I don't have the impression and yet… ». In any case, nothing to enlighten football fans regarding the consistency of the decisions taken by the VAR.
Note that for others on X, the referees did not sanction Marquinhos because PSG simply has an advantage in Ligue 1: “It seems obvious to me that Marquinhos should have taken a direct red for this action. Regardless of the initial foul committed against Hakimi, a teammate must not take the place of the referee and commit such brutality. This is not admissible”; “Beyond the fact that they have annihilated any possibility of competition in France, this PSG disgusts me to the highest degree by the protection that is created around it: we can NEVER touch them “because we prevent them from being efficient in LDC” and they live with total impunity! » ; “Marquinhos took yellow, it must be because the Lensois did not show the mark”; “The live commentator who says “yes but Marquinhos isn’t the same, it’s a gesture of humor” at least pretend I don’t know…”; “I came across this. How does Marquinhos not turn red after this shameful gesture? (Var called for the foul on Hakimi just before, Marquinhos will only get a yellow) When you think about Harit’s red lol” or even “BALERDI does that, he gets red plus 3 games suspension. And all the media will spit on him… But since it’s Marquinhos and PSG it’s the game”. It should be noted that another red card was undoubtedly also forgotten after a very dangerous gesture by Andy Diouf on Willian Pacho. The French midfielder only received a yellow card. Enough to undoubtedly calm the vision of some…
