"If I talk too much, I will be summoned by an ethics commission. We have no right to say anything."

Nantes manager Claudio Ranieri: "The worst thing is that Diego Carlos will have a minimum one-match suspension. It was a good game for us if we forget the goal ruled out for offside and what happened with Diego Carlos."
