Argentine left back Nicolas Tagliafico criticized officiating after Olympique Lyon's 2-3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, despite his logical red card following another foul on Lee Kang-in, who left with a clear mark on his face.
The Lyon captain against PSG on Sunday night until the 78th-minute entrance of Corentin Tolisso, Tagliafico hit the post in the 42nd minute before being ejected in stoppage time for another foul on Lee, whom he did not release all night, and on whom he committed several fouls.
As the match was ending and the score was still 2-2, Tagliafico delivered a violent blow to Lee's face and received a second yellow card.
The Argentine long contested this deserved decision from referee Monsieur Bastien before leaving the field and leaving his teammates with 10 men, who finally broke a few seconds later on a corner from... Lee to Neves.
Like several Lyon actors after the match (Jorge Maciel and Matthieu Louis-Jean notably), Tagliafico complained about officiating at the end of the match, sharing a publication from a Marseille supporter making fun of three officiating decisions from the night that turned against the locals.
Tagliafico shared these three video excerpts on his X account and added a zipper-mouth emoji and another with a nauseated face.

Strangely, the Argentine did not share a compilation of his numerous fouls on Lee Kang-in, nor repost the photo of the South Korean's face, marked by the blow he inflicted before his ejection.
