During the match between PSZH and Liverpool in the first match of the 1/16 finals of the Champions League at the "Parc des Princes" stadium, an incident occurred that caused widespread discussions and anger. According to reports, a harsh tackle by Paris Saint-Germain defender Ibrahim Konate on Liverpool forward Bredly Parkel in the 25th minute led to the dismissal of Luis Campos, a sports adviser to the Paris club.
Campos quickly intervened, discussing with Italian referee Davide Massa not assigning a penalty or showing a red card. During the discussion, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk got involved in a conflict to calm the agitated Campos and made a shocking statement: "This is not the French league, my friend," according to information from the British newspaper "Evening Standard".
The newspaper "L'Equipe" from France focused on van Dijk's comments, which sparked widespread discussion. It noted that his view reflects a caricatured representation of the French tournament in the eyes of major European clubs. The rules of arbitration in the Champions League leave no room for controversial decisions, which intensifies the discontent of PSZH in European arbitration.
