Frenkie de Jong should have been sent off in the match against PSG, says ex-referee Burroul. Barcelona plays at home with the Parisians in the 2nd round of the general stage of the Champions League (1:1, second half).
In the 33rd minute, the hosts` midfielder de Jong thwarted Nuno Mendes` counterattacking attack, stepping on the PSG defender`s Achilles. Referee Michael Oliver showed the Dutchman a yellow card.
The action of the Barcelona midfielder was quite dangerous, he could not play the ball in any way, so this led to a red card and at least a review of the episode, said Alfonso Perez Burrul in the Marcador program.
