Mamadou Niang, the former Marseille striker, expressed his frustration on Twitter about the referee’s decisions in the match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Olympique de Marseille (OM) in the League Cup. PSG won the match 2-0, but Niang criticized the referee for an early red card and a penalty decision that he deemed questionable.
Niang tweeted, “But even with 10 Marseille players are well beaten, f*** the referee” and “Prrrrrrrrrr the referee is a real piece of s***.” His comments reflect the disappointment felt by some OM supporters about the officiating during the game.
In response to the defeat, OM coach Elie Baup also expressed frustration with the referee’s decisions, particularly the penalty awarded for a foul committed outside the area. Baup acknowledged that playing with 10 players against PSG was challenging and believed the referee’s decision had a significant impact on the match.
Despite the disappointment, Baup emphasized the need for the team to continue working and focus on upcoming matches. He acknowledged that the season is still long and emphasized the importance of overcoming defeats to return to winning ways.
The post-match comments highlight the passion and emotions surrounding football matches, especially intense encounters between rival teams like PSG and OM.
