The last time PSG were shown two red cards...

On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain revisited a scenario it had not experienced in over twelve years: finishing an official match with nine players after receiving two red cards.

The 2-0 victory against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup will be remembered, but it also revives the memory of a very different evening: that of April 28, 2013, in Annecy.

That night, Carlo Ancelotti's PSG traveled to Évian Thonon Gaillard with a championship title in sight. However, this Ligue 1 match turned into a nightmare towards the end. After a tense scenario, the Parisians ended up with nine:

  • Marco Verratti was sent off in the 90th minute for a second warning.
  • David Beckham saw red in extra time for a tackle deemed dangerous.
  • Salvatore Sirigu, the Parisian goalkeeper, was also sent off after the final whistle for an altercation.

PSG eventually lost 1-0. The frustration was immense: the title would be celebrated a few rounds later, but this match remains one of the most chaotic of the QSI era in terms of discipline.

Since that date, Paris had managed to control its nerves, avoiding sinking into double expulsion matches. It wasn't until July 5, 2025, that we saw two red cards brandished against the Parisians in an official match again:

  • Willian Pacho was sent off in the 83rd minute for a late tackle on Leon Goretzka.
  • Lucas Hernández was sent off in extra time for a fit of temper (elbowing Guerreiro).

The difference? This Saturday, PSG managed to maintain its numerical advantage and even increase the score against Bayern Munich (2-0), paving the way to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
