Marseille/PSG – FFF revisits the controversial penalty | OneFootball

Two days after Olympique de Marseille/Paris Saint-Germain (1-2), the FFF’s Refereeing Department looked back at the duel between Amine Gouiri, 26, OM forward, and Désiré Doué, 21, PSG forward. An incident that drew heavy discussion after Le Classique and was shared on X by ParisSG Infos.

The clarification is especially interesting for the nuance it brings to this incident. The Refereeing Department does not deny the contact between Désiré Doué and Amine Gouiri at all. It simply considers that it was not enough to constitute a foul: the Paris player managed to play the ball, while the Marseille forward had already begun to lose his balance.

This is an important point in the post-match analysis. In the 38th minute, while both teams were still level at 0-0, a penalty could obviously have changed the course of Le Classique. The FFF ultimately confirms that François Letexier made the expected decision in this situation. The debate over the intensity of the contact may still remain, but from the Refereeing Department’s point of view, this was therefore not an error missed by the referee.
