The match was undoubtedly already lost, but this expulsion definitely buried the last hopes of PSG.
As in the first leg a week ago, Paris finished its semi-final against Manchester City at ten on Tuesday night.
After Idrissa Gueye at the Parc des Princes, this time it was Angel Di Maria who took a red card (69th), guilty of a sole on the ankle of Mancunian midfielder Fernandinho after a first altercation on the sidelines of a touch for the players from the capital.
The expulsion did not please the former Real Madrid player at all, who did not hesitate to express his anger to the referee of the meeting, the Dutchman Bjorn Kuipers.
Then, Angel Di Maria attacked the Brazilian, insulting him several times.
"Fernandinho, you are a son of p ...", we hear the player of PSG in isolated images by the broadcaster of the meeting, RMC Sport.
Fernandinho should have been sent off according to Arsène Wenger
The attitude of the experienced midfielder (36) from Manchester City, surprise holder of this semi-final return, also displeased Arsène Wenger.
“I did not like how Fernandinho behaved tonight (Editor's note: Tuesday) because it is provocation, criticized the former Arsenal coach on the beIN Sports set.
If you expel Di Maria, you should also expel Fernandinho, in my opinion.
But he should have already had a yellow card for his provocation on Di Maria and I think both should have taken red.
"
According to PSG players, their teammate is not the only one to have been rude on the lawn of the Etihad Stadium, however.
Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti denounced insults from Bjorn Kuipers after the meeting, referring in particular to a “fuck off” to their partner Leandro Paredes.
