Paraguay's Miguel Almiron became the first player to be shown a red card for covering his mouth while speaking to an opponent during his side's World Cup group match against Turkey! 🟥
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: A few months ago in the Champions League, Gianluca Prestianni covered his mouth while saying something to Vinicius Jr.
It was never proven what he said, so the "PRESTIANNI LAW" was created: Any player who covers his mouth to say something to an opponent will be sent off, regardless of what was actually said.
Today, the Prestianni Law was applied for the FIRST time to Miguel Almirón, who covered his mouth while speaking to a rival during the World Cup and was shown a straight RED CARD. ❌
