Talk about highs and lows, eh? Paris Saint-Germain went from dominating Real Madrid and getting a blockbuster injury-time winner in the Champions League to losing in the domestic league against Nantes in just four days.An early double from Randal Kolo Muani and Quentin Merlin, along with a Ludovic Blas penalty gave the Canaries a famous win over the Ligue 1 table-toppers. Neymar pulled one back but that was as good as it got for Mauricio Pochettino’s team.Marco Verratti: “We were shit on by the referees” pic.twitter.com/DDbzlM1xvk— ym🏴 (@KieranCFC88) February 19, 2022 PSG midfielder Marco Verratti was particularly annoyed after the game because Nantes’ man Dennis Appiah escaped a red card for his foul on Kylian Mbappe. The Italian was furious at the standard of refereeing and he made sure everyone knew it.”The referee should have given Appiah the second yellow for the foul he made on Mbappe. How is it possible not to give him the yellow? We got sh*t on by the referees!”The Canaries of eagles’ ilk: Nantes shock PSG, trumping Messi, Mbappe and co.Appiah was initially shown a red card for tripping Mbappe as the forward was making his way to the goal at the end of the first half. VAR analysis changed it to a yellow, however, ruling that the defender had not intentionally deprived the striker of a goalscoring opportunity.Despite a frustrating night, PSG remain 13 points clear at the top of the table. Olympique de Marseille could reduce the gap to 10 points on Sunday night.LIGUE 1 – Round 25FridayLille – Metz 0-0 SaturdayLens – Olympique Lyon 1-1 (1-1)/Clauss 14 – Kadewere 44/Nantes – PSG 3-1 (3-0)/Muani 4, Merlin 16, Blas 45+6 – Neymar 47/Sunday17.00: (2.95) Saint-Etienne (3.25) Strasbourg (2.45)17.00: (2.55) Reims (3.10) Brest (2.90)17.00: (2.45) Lorient (3.20) Montpellier (3.00)17.00: (1.38) Rennes (4.70) Troyes (8.50)19.05: (5.10) Girondins de Bordeaux (3.70) Monaco (1.70)22.45: (1.45) Olympique Marseille (4.30) Clermont (7.75)***odds are subject to change
