#3 Marco Veratti receives a yellow card for trickery
PSG’s Marco Veratti received a bizarre yellow card in their game against Nantes with a move that left even the commentators in splits. Under no real pressure from the opposition, Veratti decided to pass the ball back to his goalkeeper by getting down on all-fours and heading it in Kevin Trapp’s direction. He would have been better off simply using his feet since Trapp didn’t handle the ball, but ended up getting a yellow card from the referee for using trickery to circumvent the spirit of the game.
