Herrera, Verratti: Ref swore at PSG players during Man City defeat

Paris Saint-Germain midfielders Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti have said referee Bjorn Kuipers swore at players from the French side during the defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League semifinal second leg on Tuesday.

Two Riyad Mahrez goals gave City a 2-0 victory on the night and a 4-1 aggregate win with PSG players showing their frustration in the final minutes as Angel Di Maria was sent off for a kick at Fernandinho and several others were shown yellow cards. PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino was among those to approach Kuipers at full-time.
