Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly surprised by the referee's official match report following Nuno Mendes' late red card against Lens. Les Parisiens fear the specific wording used by match official Jeremie Pignard could result in a severe suspension for the Portuguese full-back.
Lens secured a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain to win the Trophee des Champions thanks to a goal from Florian Thauvin. However, the French governing body LFP has faced fierce criticism for staging the fixture at Lens' home stadium despite rules stipulating a neutral venue.
Florian Thauvin scored a decisive first-half goal as Lens pulled off a major upset to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Trophée des Champions on Sunday. Despite going down to 10 men just before half-time, the hosts defended heroically to frustrate Luis Enrique’s side and secure the first piece of domestic silverware of the season in front of a passionate home crowd.
