Enzo Fernandez's collision with referee Sven Jablonski has drawn scrutiny following Manchester City's 4–2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Bong Da 24h reported that the official fell to the ground, while the Argentina midfielder remained on the pitch.
Contact during the second half
The incident occurred with City trailing 4–1. Fernandez moved towards the ball, encountered Jablonski's position and made contact with the referee from behind.
The report described replay images showing the player's hands against Jablonski's back before his arms extended. The referee lost balance, fell and then looked back towards the midfielder.
Fernandez stopped rather than immediately continuing after the ball. The account cited criticism of the incident but did not include a direct explanation from either the player or the referee.
Some observers argued for a red card, according to the report. Those reactions should be distinguished from an official disciplinary finding. Remaining on the field during the match does not by itself establish the outcome of any subsequent review.
The match surrounding the incident
PSG scored three first-half goals through Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha. Erling Haaland scored after the interval before Maghnes Akliouche restored the visitors' larger advantage. Haaland later completed his double, leaving the final score at 4–2.
The collision was a separate point of controversy within that match. The available report establishes that Fernandez continued playing, but it does not announce a later suspension, a ruling on intent or a decision closing any possible disciplinary consideration.
