The official Tony Chapron lashed seemed to lash out at Nantes defender Diego Carlos while on the floor after the pair collided in injury time of the game which ended 1-0 to PSG.

Carlos was shown a second yellow card, apparently for dissent, and the hosts were left baffled by the incident.

"I received 20 SMS from all over the world telling me that this referee is a joke," Kita told L'Equipe.

"What do you want me to say to you? If I talk too much, I will be summoned by an ethics commission. We have no right to say anything.

"It's still scandalous to see that. We give a red card to a player who did nothing. Where are we? He has to go back to school.

"Chapron has to rest and get a massage, it works like that now, we cannot see him [after the match ended]. I'm waiting for the green light, otherwise I'll be killed. It's amateurism.

"Sincerely, I think he did not do it on purpose. I do not want to believe he did it on purpose.

"At least, you apologise but you do not give a red card, it's not serious.

"We still have to find a solution, because there is a problem in all this. It makes me laugh at the end. I have never seen that before.

"He should be suspended for six months. If we did it, we would be banned for six months."
