Lucas Paqueta It Seems That He Will Continue To Fight With The FA After The Red Card At The West Ham Vs Liverpool Match

JAKARTA - Lucas Paqueta said his red card against West Ham United against Liverpool reflects the ridiculous two years he has to go through.

He accused the English Football Association (FA) of not supporting its expression because it was always associated with the match-fixing case.

Paqueta was acquitted of four charges of match-fixing by the FA earlier this year after a lengthy investigation. The investigation was carried out after he allegedly received four yellow cards in a Premier League match between November 2022 and August 2023.

On Sunday, November 30, 2025, Paqueta received two consecutive yellow cards for strong protests by referee Darren England when his team lost 0-2.

Former West Ham goalkeeper Rob Green said the red card was completely irresponsible.

Paqueta then expressed his opinion on social media after the match, citing a snippet of a red card and uploaded it on X.

"It's ridiculous your life and career have been affected for two years without the psychological support of the federation. Maybe this ridiculous behavior is just a reflection of everything I've experienced."

"I see, I have to continue to experience it! Sorry, I'm not perfect. I understand that now I have to look like a criminal."

"It's hard to live with everything that's happened in my life and my mental health! I'll keep trying to prevent them from affecting me any further."

"This does not justify my expulsion. For that, I apologize to the supporters and my teammates!" Paqueta wrote.

Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, who scored after Paqueta got a red card, put Nuno Espirito Santo's side in 17th position.

Nuno said after the game that he would not comment on the eviction until he spoke with the player.

Paqueta has been reprimanded and warned of its future behavior in October 2025 for its failure to cooperate in an investigation into allegations of match-fixing.
