Kyllian Antonio barred from Trophée des champions ceremony after red card | OneFootball

Kyllian Antonio, 18, was barred from the official Trophée des champions ceremony after his first-half red card, according to L'Équipe.

Lens defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0.

His night ended in the 39th minute when he was dismissed for a dangerous challenge in the centre circle on Maghnes Akliouche.

He had to stay away from the pitch, watching from the stairwell to the dressing rooms as his team-mates lifted the trophy.

He was not permitted to collect a medal. The laws of the game, set by IFAB, require any sent-off player, substitute or substituted player to leave the vicinity of the field and the technical area.

After the official presentation and fireworks, the former Torcy player rejoined his colleagues and briefly held the cup.
