Summary of the day in Sport, 16.9 (Sport1)

Paris Saint-Germain did return from Israel with 3 points, but they continue to be criticized in France after struggling against Maccabi Haifa.

Mikal Mader, the team's former player who wore Media from 1999 to 2001 and currently serves as a commentator on French television, analyzed the game yesterday (Thursday) and claimed that PSG underestimated the Israelis.

"How can you explain the weak first half? It's easy - the PSG players were too arrogant. On paper, Haifa is inferior to PSG by at least five levels. But the players did not do what was necessary to make them fear and doubt themselves. Haifa's players are very mediocre, but PSG built their confidence," Madar said.

"There was a feeling that we had gone back a few months, because PSG looked again like a collection of individuals and not like a team at all."

Even the strict treatment that Neymar received from the referee after he celebrated demonstratively in front of the Maccabi Haifa fans continues to provoke reactions.

"L'Equip" commentator Vansen Duloc claimed that "the Maccabi Haifa fans did a provocation", and explained why the yellow card Neymar received was absurd.

"VAR has already completely changed the experience of watching football. You can no longer be happy when a goal is scored, and now they want to regulate the celebrations of players as well. If this is how football is to be seen, it will be very sad. Maccabi Haifa fans provoked Neymar, and he is happy that he scored Against them. This should be the limit - if fans tease a player, he is allowed to celebrate in front of them. What do you want, to not be able to celebrate in front of an opposing crowd? Do you want to castrate the players? Do you want to take the pleasure and passion out of football?"
