Sporting player suspended for PSG clash, but left baffled by the decision | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand received his third yellow card in this edition of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, which means he is suspended for Sporting - PSG in the next round of the competition. However, at the end of the match, the Danish international admitted he did not understand the reason for this warning.

“In the first 65 minutes, until we conceded the goal, we were effective. We had our plan, and we were playing a perfect game. Then, we conceded the goal and suffered from the opponent’s pressure, and from the fans. We couldn’t get out of the chaos they created for us, and we conceded another goal. It was a deserved victory for them. We know that Bayern are very dominant at home, they win almost every game, they are extremely strong,” he began by telling Germany’s DAZN, before speaking about the yellow card, which came after a disagreement between Kimmich and Luis Suárez.

“I’m suspended, but I don’t know why I got the yellow card,” emphasized Morten Hjulmand, before downplaying Sporting’s defeat in Munich: “We are still on the right track, even though the next game, against PSG, will be extremely tough.”

It’s worth remembering that, after the match, the ‘number 42’ of the green and whites was ‘caught’ meeting with his agent at the hotel where Sporting was staying, still in Germany. This situation comes about three weeks before the reopening of the transfer market.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 21 matches: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,888 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and provided two assists.
