The Technical Refereeing Department (DTA) has decided: no clear error was identified during the match between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain, played on November 9th (PSG won 2-3). This decision, reported by L’Équipe, puts an end to the disputes surrounding several contentious situations that had set social media and television studios ablaze.
The post-match analysis conducted by the DTA, which systematically reviews the weekend's significant matches, did not detect any shortcomings by the field referees or the VAR during OL/PSG. A verdict that confirms the proper application of protocols, despite the fierce criticism from some supporters and observers after the controversial actions, particularly on the Lyon side. In Lyon, there was hope for a reconsideration of the decisions.
However, according to the technical reports, the decisions made on the field adhered to the current guidelines. This institutional green light reinforces the DTA's position... while fueling Lyon's frustration. It proves that, in a match of this intensity, even without a "clear error," the debate on refereeing is never truly closed.
