There comes a point where referees need to stop being jobsworths and have a little bit of humanity.

Edinson Cavani paid tribute to those affected by the Chapecoense air disaster after scoring a penalty for PSG this evening. He revealed what appeared to be a home-made shirt dedication to the victims of the crash, and was subsequently booked by the referee.
