While Konate and Campos made their views on the incident abundantly clear, others offered more measured responses.

PSG midfielder Vitinha conceded that the absence of a penalty was no excuse for the French champions' defeat.

He said: "It's not easy if you are a referee in a game like this when the fans are so there for the home team.

I don't feel he was in favour of us or in favour of them, I think he was a top referee in a game like this."
