UEFA open disciplinary proceedings against Sparta Prague following racist abuse of Monaco’s Tchouaméni

UEFA have announced this evening that it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Sparta Prague following their Champions League qualifier tie against Monaco.

Midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni had complained of racist abuse in the aftermath to scoring the opener explaining on social media the next day that he had been subjected to monkey noises from opposition fans. The match was briefly stopped and Frenchman was supported by team-mates and manager, with Niko Kovač later highlighting that Monaco had “won against racism as well”.

The proceedings are based on three charges – “Discriminatory behaviour”, “Provocative offensive messages”, and “Throwing of objects”.

Monaco ran out 2-0 winners of the tie’s first leg, with away goals from Tchouaméni and Kevin Volland giving Kovač’s men a healthy lead going into next week’s deciding fixture for a place in the playoffs again

Player Ratings | Montpellier 2-3 Marseille, Payet magical in Marseille thrilling comeback

MONTPELLIER – 2 (Luan Peres OG 30′, Laborde 34′)

Dimitry Bertaud, 5

Junior Sambia, 3 – Oddly shied away from the ball to allow Payet’s free kick to skip through the wall for 2-2 and struggled with Konrad in the first half.

Matheus Thuler, 5

Maxime Estève, 5

Nicolas Cozza, 3 – Worked hard but was unable to prevent Ünder creating openings down the right throughout the game.

Joris Chotard, 5

Jordan Ferri, 5

Florent Mollet, 4 – Unable to have an effect on the game and was unable to make the most of his admittedly rare openings.

Elye Wahi, 4 – Produced one brilliant run which turned Saliba inside out but was largely anonymous besides.

Gaëtan Laborde, 7 – His run across the penalty spot forced the own goal before a cleverly disguised effort from the edge of the area fooled Mandanda for 2-0. Montpellier will sorely miss him should a move be found.

Andy Delort, 6 – Showed flashes of his quality throughout the game but, as is often the case with Delort, they were fleeting but he still affected proceedings – an arrowed cross led to the opener and he worked well with Laborde when given the chance.

Others Souquet 5, Ristic 5, Leroy 5, Mavididi 4, Makouana 5.

 

MARSEILLE – 3 (Ünder 68′, Payet 75′, 80′)

Steve Mandanda, 3 – Not happy having to use his feet in tight spaces and had a David Seaman-esque moment as he was deceived by Laborde’s looping second.

Willam Saliba, 5

Leonardo Balerdi, 5

Luan Peres, 5 – Sneaks a five despite an erratic and largely poor first half having made a couple of well timed challenges later on, including one to win the ball back for Payet’s winner.

Pape Gueye, 5

Boubacar Kamara, 6 – Serene if understated in midfield, used the ball cleverly and quietly protected his back three effectively.

Mattéo Guendouzi, 6 – Typically all-action performance, bold and aggressive throughout.

Gerson, 3 – Very quiet overall playing almost as a support striker, had no real impact on the game and looked off the pace.

Konrad de la Fuente, 7 – A real threat with his tricky and direct style, especially early on, and produced a neat assist for OM’s first.

Cengiz Ünder, 7 – Not everything came off for him but terrorised a young Montpellier defence at times in the first half especially and arrived at the back post to start the comeback with a simple finish.

Dimitri Payet, 8 – Superb, classic Payet. Fortunate to see his free-kick slip through the wall but a characteristically nonchalant run and side foot finish won the game after some imaginative play throughout.

Others: Benedetto 5, Henrique 5, Dieng 5.

Niko Kovač ahead of Monaco-Shakhtar Donetsk: “Clearly they are the favourites.”

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League play-off first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, Monaco manager Niko Kovač played down his side’s status in the tie ahead of the clash against the Ukrainians.

With Les Monégasques suffering from a disappointing start to the league campagin, their European form has been a different story – having beaten Sparta Prague 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round.

“Shakhtar are a formidable opponent. They’ve qualified for the Champions League 13 times in the last 15 years. We remember their matches last year against Real Madrid, who they beat twice. They have lots of talented Brazilian players, a new Italian coach [Roberto De Zerbi], they’re a nice team to watch.”

“I expect a different match to the ones we’ve played so far. They’re always looking to attack, to create chances and play their game. It should help us play our way too and create chances. They play with four defenders at the back, whereas usually French teams play with 5, which is harder to catch out.”

“Clearly they are the favourites, but we want to beat the odds. We want to reach a clear objective – get to the Champions League group stages. We worked very hard last season, now we have a two-act final – we are physically, mentally and tactically ready.”

Player Ratings | Brest 1-1 Rennes: Two late headers bring the Breton derby to life

BREST – 1 (Le Douaron 90+1′)

Marco Bizot, 4 – Questions persist as to if he is truly an upgrade on Larsonneur in goal. Got a hand to Guirassy’s opener and maybe should have kept it out.

Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, 5

Lilian Brassier, 6 – The pick of Brest’s back line with some bullish and alert defending.

Brendan Chardonnet, 5

Jere Uronen, 5

Hugo Magnetti, 5

Hianga’a Mbock, 5

Irvin Cardona, 3 – Completely anonymous.

Romain Faivre, 5 – Some neat touches showing his obvious quality but flickered in and out of the game while struggling to truly affect proceedings. Links to a move away may be a little premature, another season in Ligue 1 could do him good.

Franck Honorat, 7 – Did just about enough for seven having worked hard and threatened throughout when given the chance. Created a number of openings from his flank, often taking on his full-back and crossing accurately – one such centre allowed Le Douaron to head a late leveller.

Steve Mounié, 4 – Produced a powerful first half header from the edge of the area which was superbly saved by Gomis but missed two clear chances besides later on, the second should really have resulted in a goal despite little time to react.

Others: Jean-Kevin Duverne 5, Julien Faussurier 5, Jérémy Le Douaron 7.

RENNES – 1 (Guirassy 84′)

Alfred Gomis, 7 – Amongst a handful of smart stops were two outstanding saves, the best being a fingertip touch onto the post from Mounié’s long range first half header.

Hamari Traoré, 4 – One of his more shaky displays and managed to lose Le Douaron for the late headed equaliser.

Nayef Aguerd, 5

Loïc Badé, 5

Birger Meling, 6 – Got forward well throughout, reliable in possession and provided a super cross for Guirassy’s opener.

Lesley Ugochukwu, 6 – Protected his back four well, winning the ball in midfield and using possession neatly. Still a little raw but Rennes may not need to sign a holding midfielder at this rate.

Flavien Tait, 5

Benjamin Bourigeaud, 6 – His arrowed crosses and corners were again a danger throughout and he contributed to some neat interplay.

Jérémy Doku, 6 – Somehow side footed wide with the goal at his mercy early on having arrived late at the back post but grew into the game with some typically illusive runs and some intelligent passing.

Kamaldeen Sulemana, 4 – There was one thrilling first half run but the new man posted a frustrating display besides. Occasionally threatened to create something but lost the ball a little easily and faded badly in the second half.

Martin Terrier, 5

Others: Serhou Guirassy 7, Eduardo Camavinga 5, Warmed Omari 5, Matthis Abline 5, Mathys Tel 5.

Braga midfielder Fransérgio (30) close to joining Bordeaux on permanent deal

With the departures of key players Toma Bašić to Lazio and Yacine Adli to AC Milan seemingly immanent, Bordeaux are looking to bolster their already under-strength midfield with the signing of Braga’s Fransérgio.

As reported by 20 Minutes, the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder was expected in Bordeaux last night to undergo his medical and is expected to sign a three year deal (plus another optional year) with Les Girondins for a €6m fee.

However, for the move to be finalised, FCGB will need to sell a player to comply with the regulations of French football’s financial watchdog, the DNCG. That player is likely to be Bašić or Adli but Basic’s suitor Lazio also need to sell before signing the Croatian.

Vitinho’s €10m move to Bordeaux given green light

With transfers for both Yacine Adli and Toma Bašić away from Bordeaux stalling in recent weeks, Les Girondins have built up a backlog of incoming deals with the club needing to sell a player before signing.

However, as L’Équipe report this morning, now Bašić’s move to Lazio is being finalised, the doors to the Matmut Atlantique will soon open. Honduran striker Alberth Elis arrived yesterday, Braga midfielder Fransérgio can now complete his move from Portugal and Brazilian forward Vitinho of Athletico Paranaense could soon join too.

Bordeaux could spend as much as €10m on the 22-year-old Vitinho, who has also been interesting Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk, with the player expected to arrive tomorrow or Friday to complete a medical and sign a five year contract in France. 

Usually a left-side wide player, although capable of playing across the front line, Vitinho has scored 15 goals and added seven assists over 59 games to date for Athletico Paranaense.
