Although many described the match between Bayern and PSG as the final before the final due to the great form in which both clubs are, the main topic today is the trial. In the first game against Bayern, a penalty was awarded after Alphonso Davies’ ball first hit his thigh and then bounced off his hand. In return, the Portuguese judge João Pinheiro he did not play a penalty kick when the ball hit PSG midfielder João Neves in the outstretched arm, after being cleared by his teammate Vitinho, reports Index.hr.
Many experts and fans disagree with that decision, but she is correct. According to the rules of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), it is not considered a foul if the ball hits a player’s hand after being unexpectedly deflected by a teammate. The Bayern defender spoke about referee Pinheiro Josip Stanišić (26), who played until the 67th minute.
Stanišić: The discussion about handball is slowly getting on everyone’s nerves
The Croatian representative said how somewhat understands such an interpretation of the rules about the handball, since Vitinha was just trying to shoot the ball.
Taking a penalty kick for that would be too harshsaid the Bayern defender, who was among the lowest rated players according to L’Équipe and Bild.
A discussion about playing the hand to everyone slowly getting on my nervesregardless of the fact that today the decision was against usemphasized Stanišić, then briefly commented on the chief judge: Jone time he decides this way, another time that way.
Kompany: Nonsense
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany also commented on the controversial handball.
The ball does not go from the body to the hand, but directly into the hand. It doesn’t matter if it came from a teammate or not, it’s just nonsense, Kompany told DAZN. Although the referee in Munich followed UEFA’s recommended interpretation, it did not console the Bayern coach.
Rules are rules. Too badhe added.
