Marseille head coach Rudi Garcia disapproved of Patrice Evra's actions after the veteran full-back was sent off prior to kick-off on Thursday for appearing to kick a supporter.
Former Manchester United and Juventus defender Evra became the first player to be sent off before kick-off in a Europa League match following a pre-match altercation prior to Marseille's clash at Vitoria Guimaraes, who triumphed 1-0.
Evra, who has been criticised for his poor form this season, was warming up for the Group I fixture when the 36-year-old and his team-mates were confronted by fans – believed to be supporters of Marseille – at the front of the stand at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques.
"Pat has experience, and he must not react. It's obvious," Garcia told beIN Sports.
"Patrice is a more than experienced player and we cannot respond, of course, to insults as low as they are and as incredible as they are because they come from one of our supporters."
Garcia added: "He is not a supporter of OM, because you cannot insult your own players, you have to be behind everyone."
