On Verratti, Mbappé, we don’t whistle… Honestly the fault on Mbappé (Pallois editor’s note) he didn’t even whistle the fault! Appiah, he whistled red, it wasn’t red. The VAR does not work then it starts working again. The second yellow on Appiah… and no. We lost the game. Hats off to Nantes, big match, I’m very happy for Kombouaré but if we look at the management of the match… I don’t like it.”to plague Marco Verratti, before Leonardo there is also his rant: “(Denis) Appiah does not take the second yellow card when the penalty is whistled (on Mbappé). A second yellow is red, that’s obvious. Afterwards, there are so many faults on our players. But he says no, no, it’s Neymar, it’s Mbappé, I’m not whistling! It’s Messi, I don’t whistle, it’s Paris Saint-Germain, I don’t whistle! The feeling, it comes like that”.
