Ancelotti believes that the Van Dijk and Pickford incident at the merseyside derby was the reason that the referee decided to send off Digne. He believes the official's decision was a joke.
"It was a joke, the red card, because it was not intentional,"
Ancelotti
told Sky Sports. "Maybe it can be a yellow but for sure it was not violent conduct. They could check it better.
"Maybe all the rumours, all week against Pickford, against Richarlison, affected the decision. If it is like this, it's not right, it's not fair. We are going to appeal, for sure."
