On Thursday evening, the matches of the 4th round in the UEFA Europa League were played, which were full of fierce battles and some teams have already secured their place in the knockout stages, according to lrytas.lt.
However, the most attention on Thursday evening was drawn not by beautiful goals or intriguing battles, but by the gesture of Olympique Marseille's player during a match against Vitoria de Guimaraes in Portugal.
Olympique Marseille's veteran player Patrice Evra was supposed to start the game on the bench hoping that the coach would sub him in, but even before being on the field and before the match started, he got a red card.
During warm-up, he got into an argument with Marseille's fans and even kicked one of them in the face. The 36-year-old P. Evra quickly received a penalty for such a gesture. He was shown a red card and immediately sent off to the locker room.
The veteran became the first player in the history of the Europa League to receive such a punishment before a match.
