Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk hit PSG Chief Luis Campos in the tunnel during a half-time screaming competition in the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.
While the teams returned to the dressing room during the break, PSG was furious with the Italian referee Davide Massa because he did not dismiss Ibrahima Konate. Konate seemed to push Bradley Barcola when he tried to hold on to a long ball and the winger went to the ground and claimed that he was being pushed in the back by his international teammate.
Ref Massa ignored the incident that was also subject to a VAR assessment, but the officials liked to let the game continue, to the relief of Konate and Liverpool.
But PSG Football Advisor Campos, recently linked to Arsenal, had Rippen with Interval and heard shout: “It is a red card or a penalty, in every part of the world,” during images released by Canal Plus.
Immediately the Imperious Reds -Schipper van Dijk and roar replied: “Come on, this is not a Ligue 1 -Broer.”
However, that did not calm Campos when he kept shouting: “Red card or penalty, in every part of football!”
TNT Sports Pundits Ally McCoist and Rio Ferdinand Believed Konate Was Lucky To Escape Punishment As The Ex-Manchester United Defender Claimed During TV Commentary: Go down to 10 Against 11 in that sense because you want the best players playing each other equally in the 90 minutes. “
PSG -Midfender Vitinha did not want to blame the controversial decision for the result, because he felt that the hosts dominated the Reds and deserved to win.
He said, “The mistake on Barcola? It was hard to see. I can't talk without seeing it and we're not going to hide behind it.”
Konate, however, was adamant that he had not contaminated Barcola and told the French TV: “There was a VAR check. If there was a push, as you said, I would have shown a red card.
“I tell you that there was no wrong. It is true that I am very strong, but I do not apply power, I just put my arm. If I had put a lot more strength in it, we could talk about it, but it was soft for me. “
The late strike of Harvey Elliott, less than a minute after entering the field, gave Liverpool an invaluable 1-0 lead prior to next week's crunch in the second legs on Anfield.
