Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti has said he doesn't believe the suspicions his squad's recent 6-1 UEFA Champions League triumph over Red Star Belgrade was the result of match-fixing.
ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson referred to an L'Equipe report that said a Red Star official was being investigated by France's National Financial Prosecutor's office (PNF) after betting €5 million (£4.4 million) that his team would lose by five goals. The bet was allegedly made via accomplices, presumably to avoid a trail of evidence.
However, Verratti sees no reason to cry foul when he and his team-mates have achieved that feat numerous times in recent years.
