A former international referee said that Ibrahima Konate's shove on Bradley Barcola would ordinarily have resulted in a red card for the Liverpool defender.

Konate escaped a VAR check for a possible red card in the first half when he appeared to barge Barcola to the ground in a last-man challenge.

However, the on-field referee ultimately took no further action, much to the frustration of PSG sporting director Luis Campos, who vented his anger at the match officials at half-time.

Said Ennjimi, a former FIFA and Ligue 1 referee, suggested that Konate was lucky to stay on the field.

You can use your shoulder in a duel, but when the opponent is in front and you push him, it's a foul.

The push is in the back, so it's a foul.

But Konate barges him basically on the numbers on his back, between his shoulder blades."

Meanwhile, former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “It goes in the filing cabinet of 'I've seen them given.' I would feel annoyed if I was a PSG player.”

However, PSG midfielder Vitinha refused to use the incident as an excuse for PSG not winning the match

He said: "I'm on the pitch, it's hard to see, I'm not going to talk about that

I'm sure it's going to happen at Liverpool, we're going to play a great game."
