During the 38th minute of Marseille's 1-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a potential penalty was not awarded to Marseille's Amine Gouiri, according to the French newspaper La Provence. The paper claims that Gouiri was touched on the legs by PSG's Désiré Doué inside the penalty area. The referee, François Letexier, did not call the foul, and the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) did not review the decision. The incident occurred as Gouiri was making a small run through the penalty area when he was allegedly touched by Doué and fell to the ground. La Provence argues that Gouiri was clearly unbalanced and should have been awarded a penalty. The newspaper states that neither the referee nor the VAR assistants reconsidered the situation. Adil Rami, a former Marseille defender and current Ligue1+ commentator, supports this view. He says Gouiri was inside the penalty area and that there was clear contact, insisting there is a penalty and that the matter is not even up for debate. However, Philippe Mexès, a former teammate of Rami in the French national team and also a commentator, is more divided. He acknowledges that Gouiri may have let himself fall slightly but notes that he has seen fouls called for less. Clément Grenier, a former Lyon player and commentator, adds that there may be doubt in the situation, as the ball was too far behind for a clear penalty, allowing PSG’s Marquinhos to recover the ball. La Provence insists that Doué did not touch the ball and instead made contact with both of Gouiri’s legs. However, the main actors involved in the match, including Marseille’s coach Bruno Genesio and player Neal Maupay, did not comment on the incident during their post-match interviews.
