The new images of the tunnel in the Parc Des Princes have revealed a clash between the captain of Liverpool Virgil Van Dijk and the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Campos.
Campos enraged before the referee's decision not to show the defender of the Reds Ibrahima Konate a red card to boost Bradley Barcola in the first half. Var verified the incident, but the officials decided against any additional action after a two -minute review.
Still outraged by the call at the break, Campos begged their case when the players returned to the locker room. However, the captain of the Reds, Van Dijk, seemed to disagree with the passionate appeal and responded with a scathing mockery.
“It is not Ligue 1 here, brother,” you could hear the Dutchman saying over the bridge of the voices attracted to the shock.
Konate has been seen as largely fortunate to escape censorship for the tied in his international colleague in the hours they have followed.
Former defender Rio Ferdinand insisted that the next organization was a foul and should have resulted in a red card, since Konate seemed to deny a goal chance and the contact took place outside the penalty area.

“That is a foul,” said the Manchester United icon while commenting on the TNT sports game. 'And that is on his back, that's a foul. It is a red card.
“It is not a red card, I will be surprised,” Ferdinand added during VAR verifications.
“And it will be a shame if it is reduced to 10 against 11 in that regard, because you want the best players who play it equally in the 90 minutes.”
Speaking halftime at TNT Sports, Ferdinand said: 'I can't believe how lucky the Liverpool is here. How have Var not collected?
“He is stirring among the shoulder blades.”
The man in the center of the fury rejected the claims that he should have dismissed for the challenge.
Speaking to Canal Plus, Konate said: 'There was a VAR check. If there was a push, as you said, I would have shown me a red card. I tell you that there was no fault.
Then he added: 'It is true that I am very strong but I do not apply power, I just put my arm. If I had put much more power, then we could talk about it … but it was soft for me.
