MICHAEL OLISE could be sanctioned by Uefa over his antics against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The Bayern Munich star was brought on as a second-half substitute in the 1-0 win.
But he had an issue with the fourth official who spotted that Olise was trying to enter the pitch without wearing shinguards.
The winger then fetched his shinguards and put one down his right sock.
He then pretended to do the same with his left but quickly threw it behind him towards the dugout when the officials were not looking.
Olise, 22, could now be investigated by Uefa as Ifab rules stipulate shinguards must be worn.
Ifab Law 4.2 states: "Shinguards – these must be made of a suitable material and be of an appropriate size to provide reasonable protection and be covered by the socks.
"Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards."
There have been concerns in recent years over the shrinking of shinguards but Ifab, who are football's lawmakers, have no plans to regulate shinguard dimensions.
They ruled players - or the parents or guardians of youth players - must take responsibility for their own safety on the pitch.
A spokesman said: "Players' legs are all different sizes and there are so many different materials
"Ifab's view is that this is the responsibility of the individual player and not the referee. Where young players are concerned, that responsibility [should be taken by the coach, parents or guardians]."
Bayern's win puts them back in contention to finish in one of the coveted top eight Champions League places which qualifies them for the next round.
Meanwhile PSG have slipped out of the play-off places after picking up just one win in five games.
