PSG beat Villarreal 6-0 as Luis Enrique protests substitution decision

Paris Saint-Germain beat Villarreal 6-0 at the Spanish club’s Estadio de la Cerámica.

In the 74th minute, with PSG leading 5-0, Luis Enrique made three substitutions at once.

The referee judged the Paris players were taking too long to come on and initially would not let the substitutes enter, leaving PSG with eight players on the pitch.

Luis Enrique pushed one substitute, Ndjantou, onto the field, and the referee showed him a yellow card but let him continue.

After the match, the PSG coach called the incident unacceptable and said officials should respect players and professionals.

The match was also marked by the death of footballer Jesús de Miguel, though no further details were given.
