PSG claim Verratti and Paredes were told to ‘f*** off’ by ref Bjorn Kuipers in Man City loss as Pochettino demands probe

PSG players claim the referee for their clash with Man City told them to 'f*** off' last night.

Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes were both allegedly on the receiving end of ref Bjorn Kuipers' words.

Man City won 2-0 on the night to secure a 4-1 aggregate win and a place in the Champions League final.

PSG players were seen remonstrating with the referee at full-time and Angel Di Maria was also sent off during the fiery tie.

But PSG's former Man Utd midfielder Ander Herrera made an astonishing claim against the referee.

He told : "'We talk about respect with referees.

"The referee tonight said 'f*** off' to Leandro Paredes. It's incredible. If we say that we get a three-four match ban."

And the claims were backed up by fellow midfielder Verratti.

: "He (Kuipers) said 'f*** you' to me. I talk to referees a lot but I never say that or I get a 10-game ban."

PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino called on Uefa to investigate the accusations made by his players.

Poch said: "They explained to the TV in some interview before, we need to believe in what they are telling us you know.

"But now the most important thing is that we are not in the final.
