Rio Ferdinand expressed his incomprehension at a refereeing decision during the match between PSG and Liverpool.
Indeed, the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 between the 2 clubs lived up to all its promise on the night of March 5, 2025.
At the end of a match largely dominated by the Parisians, it was the Reds who prevailed by a score of one goal to nil.
An improbable scenario for Luis Enrique’s men, who need to create a real feat at Anfield to progress to the next round.
At the end of the match, Rio Ferdinand was critical of the referee. The latter failed to whistle for a monumental foul by Ibrahima Konaté.
A foul which, if whistled, would eventually have led to the French defender being sent off, according to Rio.
“I can’t believe how lucky Liverpool are with this one. How come VAR didn’t detect it? He hits himself between the shoulder blades of Bradley Barcola’s back,” proclaimed the former Manchester United star.
He continued: “It’s red or a penalty anywhere in the world!
Strong words which, however, failed to change the Parisians’ disappointing result.
