“A desire for openness”: why referee Benoît Bastien came to explain after OM-PSG. Referee of the match on the 27th day of Ligue 1 chose to send off Lucas Beraldo for a stroller more than 40 m from his goal.

After the break, Bastien then denied a goal to Marseille and Jordan Veretout (58th) for offside. Logical decisions? Not for everybody. But where referees regularly hide behind their controversial decisions, Benoêt Bastiens chose to come and explain himself.
