Lamine Camara Breaks Silence Following Tackle on Chevalier

Speaking to the media on Friday ahead of the clash against Marseille, Lamine Camara addressed his controversial tackle on Lucas Chevalier during the Monaco-PSG match on November 29. The incident, which could have led to his expulsion, resulted in just a yellow card—an officiating decision later deemed incorrect by the Refereeing Department. Two weeks after the event, the Monaco midfielder reflected on this incident.

“Give myself a red card? Never. It wasn’t intentional,” the Monaco player stated at the press conference, adding: “It’s still football. Ultimately, it’s not my decision. The referee didn’t show me a red card, and I was happy to stay on the field to help my team.” These comments are unlikely to calm the Parisian goalkeeper, who remains very upset after the foul.
