The duplicity by UEFA has been put to the sword after AWB was suspended for two games for a tackle akin to the one Kevin de Bruyne committed on Idrissa Gueye
Defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the Premier League at the weekend, Manchester City went to Paris with just the momentum needed to take on home side PSG. With the triad of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe yet to function in unison, last year’s finalists, Manchester City knew they stood with a solid chance of pulling off the three points from the affair.
PSG vs Manchester City: Kevin de Bruyne Escapes Punishment Despite Horrific Tackle On Idrissa Gueye
Unfortunately for the club, things didn’t quite transpire as per the modus operandi. The French side scored on either side of each half with Idrissa Gueye’s first half opener being followed by Lionel Messi’s second half strike, a cracker of a shot which was befitting of opening his account for his new side.
However, it wasn’t only PSG’s clinical performance which caught the eye on the day. A tackle by Kevin de Bruyne on midfielder Idrissa Gueye made viewers of the showdown stand up and take attention with the City man leaving his studs on the PSG player.
It was a horrid tackle, one more than deserving of a red card with KDB being extremely lucky to escape with a yellow card. However, the misdemeanor has once again emerged in the limelight ensuing UEFA’s decision to hand Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka a two match suspension ensuing his red card against Young Boys.
AWB had committed an akin tackle to KDB with many calling out UEFA’s lack of transparency and uniformity when coming down with punishments and making decisions. AWB will be missing his side’s encounters against Villareal and Atalanta.
