Szymon Marciniak on the lips of the world media. A Pole attacked by a star
AC Milan said goodbye to the Football Champions League. The Italian club lost the two -legged one with Feyenoord Rotterdam. Szymon Marciniak played a significant role.
The Polish judge was again in the center of European and even world football, given how much the Champions League is very popular. This time, the arbiter born in Płock made a key decision for the fate of the two, throwing Theo Hernandez from the field for the second yellow card.
Champions League: Szymon Marciniak stuck a red card to Milan footballer
However, the French player is to blame for himself. Hernandez tried to take a Polish judge, falling in the penalty area. AC Milan did not gain “eleven”, and worse for the hosts, it ended with the second yellow and, as a consequence, a red card for Hernandez.
Interestingly, the situation took place in the 51st minute of the match, when Milan led 1: 0. Therefore, Mediolans equalized the losses from the first clash (0: 1) in Rotterdam. Feyenoord, with Jakub Moder (a solid performance of a Pole) in the composition, having a rival with one player less on the pitch, decided to try to reverse the fate of the two. And it succeeded in the 73rd minute, when Julian Carranza scored a hit. As it turned out, it was a goal giving the place of the Dutch team in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
Eliminating Milan is a very big surprise. A lot of claims to Marciniak for the decision about the second yellow card for Hernandez, has Zlatan Ibrahimović. One of the best strikers of the last two decades, currently working for Milan, clearly stood on the side of club interests.
The referee was too harsh, showing a second yellow card. In such a match there is a warning against the next such situation. Instead, he was harsh. The match changed after this situation – she quoted the words of the famous Swede “La Gazetta dello Sport”.
However, this is a isolated comment on “NO” in relation to Marciniak’s decision. Even Italian media admitted that the Pole made the right decision. Hernandez, an experienced player of Milan, a team of the team, did not show off. In such moments, the Frenchman should not afford this type of pitch stupidity.
Tuesday evening was also not happy for the second team from Serie A, playing in the Champions League. Atalanta also lost the two -legged, succumbing to the Belgian Club Brugge 1: 3. Michał Skóraś spent the whole match on the bench of the reserve winners.
