BVB players criticize referee performance: ‘That is what irritates me’

It is not a tailor-made Champions League start for Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga team loses 2-0 in Paris. The defensive team of BVB coach Edin Terzic has little counterbalance against the power football of reigning French champion Paris Saint-Germain. And yet the referee takes center stage again after the match.

The reason for this is the controversial scene in the 47th minute of the match, when PSG striker Kylian Mbappé hits BVB defender Niklas Süle on the right arm after a shot attempt from close range. A clear hand penalty for the Spanish referee Jesús Gil Manzano. He immediately points to the point. Shortly afterwards, the VAR reports and confirms the decision.

BVB no longer understands the world. The club writes on X (formerly Twitter): “Huh? Punishment for Paris…» The BVB professionals are becoming increasingly clear. Emre Can says on Amazon Prime: “Süle is clear, he has to support himself somewhere.”

Marius Wolf is downright angry: “I just thought it was a shame how the referee reacted. He had an arrogant attitude on the field. He didn’t let anyone talk to him, even though people spoke to him very quietly. That’s what irritates me a little.”

Mats Hummels also criticizes the referee, but is also self-critical: “Bad performance from us and a deserved victory for PSG. “Still, the referee didn’t help today – a lot of bad decisions, like the penalty whistle.”

By the way: for the subsequent penalty, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel dives into the right corner in vain. Mbappé’s shot is too placed. It is a final blow for Dortmund. Almost ten minutes later, PSG rose to 2-0. (Gentlemen)
