For his comments against referee Mickaël Lesage after Paris Saint-Germain’s defeat against FC Nantes (1-3) on February 19, midfielder Marco Verratti (29 years old, 15 games and 2 goals in L1 this season) was sanctioned this Wednesday by the LFP Disciplinary Committee with a two-game suspension, one of which was suspended. The sanction taking effect on March 8, the Parisian will miss the meeting against Bordeaux on March 13.
Recovered after the defeat of his own, the Italian had estimated that his team had been “shit on by the referees”. “How is it possible that we take 10 yellow cards (6 in reality, editor’s note)? We can’t even talk to the referee. We can’t do anything. The referee says we can talk to him, but It’s not the case. It’s the only game where this could have happened. We take 10 yellow cards, them on the penalty, it’s red. He doesn’t even take a yellow. I think the referees must take their responsibilities”, he had railed.
