With every game -and loss-, fans always look for a scapegoat, and this time, it was none other than Marco Verratti.
The Italian midfielder saw two yellow cards for what seemed to be questionable calls, but in the end, his lack of touch when it came to ask for justice got him sent off. Particularly, his second yellow came after a massive dive while being surrounded by three opponents, giving fans and experts cause to blame him for his actions.
When you look at his numbers, you have to wonder if he's the right man for this kind of game.

Here's what fans had to say about his red card.
Marco Verrati's silly red card is just a sign of how crucial emotional intelligence really is for every player to develop. Tie is over. #PSGRMA #UEFA

Absolute definition of stupidity from Verrati, dive anyway, and regardless of whether it was a foul or not goes as proof to why PSG will never win the big time #PSGRMA
