Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) players have complained about the match referee after getting knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City on Tuesday night. Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti could not hide their dissatisfaction towards Bjorn Kuipers, the referee who was officiating the match.
Last year's Champions League finalists, PSG, were knocked out by Manchester City. The French champions lost twice in the two-legged semifinal tie with an aggregate score of 4-1.
The Ligue 1 giants entered the match trying to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg. But goals from Riyad Mahrez in the first and second half of the game killed their hopes of securing a comeback.
PSG star Angel Di Maria was sent off by Bjorn Kuipers in the 69th minute of the game. Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti spoke against the decision and complained about the match referee after their defeat to Manchester City. Herrera clarified that Kuipers' comments against his teammate were not at all agreeable with him.Marco Verratti also voiced similar concerns, stating that his team were the better side until the red card incident.PSG will once again return empty handed from the Champions League after being knocked out by the Premier League giants. It's a bitter end to their campaign, after losing out last year in the final against Bayern Munich.
They will now turn their focus to Ligue 1, where they are just a point behind league leaders Lille. PSG have 3 matches left to cut short the deficit and defend their league title.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have made it to their first ever Champions League final. They will face either Chelsea or Real Madrid later this month in an attempt to secure their first European triumph.
