Ibrahima Konate delivers forceful response to potential PSG red card

Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool was firmly convinced that his thrust on Bradley Barcola was “not a foul”, let alone the red card for which Paris Saint-Germain appealed on Wednesday.

In the middle of a painfully one -sided first half in favor of the French champion, Barcola burst behind Liverpool’s backline. Konate retired to the cover and established the connection outside the penalty area with the fast striker, which stormed to the goal to the lawn.

Referee Davide Massa waved Play-on, a decision that was checked and confirmed by Var Aleandro di Paolo. Konate firmly agreed with the officials. “There was a Var check,” he pointed out Channel+ After the match. “If there had been a pressure, as they said, a red card would have shown me. I tell you that there was no foul.

“It is true that I am very strong, but I didn’t use any power, I only put my arm. If I had put a lot more strength into it, we could talk about it, but it was soft from me.”

PSG Sporting Advisor Luis Campos took a rather different view. “It is a red card or a punishment in every part of the world,” the Portuguese transfer specialist was caught in the intestine of the PARC des Princes while screaming.

Luis Enrique, head coach of the Paris Club, was more concerned with the superiority of his team in an open game than with the reigning questions. “I don’t really like to talk about referees,” the Spanish boss sniffed.

The Liverpool Manager Arne Slot would not be drawn to the specific incident, but stored the overall performance of Massa. “It is not easy if you are a referee in such a game when the fans are so for the home team,” noted the Dutch boss. “I don’t have the feeling that he was for us or for you, I think he was a top referee in a game like this.”
