Now working as Stuttgart’s Sporting Director, Mislintat was less than impressed when his side conceded a late equaliser after what he thought was a clear foul on one of his players.

“I have to say clearly, for me it is a clear foul on Pascal, Mislintat said. “It is now several times this season that we find that we are disadvantaged. In situations with the VAR or with the referee not intervening, with a few penalty situations that we did not get. We have never made it a topic, but it is enough. You have to say that clearly. For me it is a clear foul.”
