"Once I see that deflection on his arm, then that for me, shouldn't be a penalty. I don't agree with that, I really don't agree with it. Once it comes off his leg onto his arm, then for me, that's a different story."
"I don't think it's a penalty. His hands are behind his back and moves out when the cross comes in but it comes off his right thigh and then on to his arm."
"I am fuming what a game spoilt by a diabolical decision!! These refs are making a mockery of our game. It's disgraceful. Never ever a pen."
The penalty awarded to PSG during their match against Bayern Munich sparked significant controversy. Referee Sandro Schaerer reviewed the incident involving Alphonso Davies, who had the ball deflect off his leg to his arm. Despite multiple slow-motion replays, Schaerer upheld the penalty decision. Pundits, including Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney, expressed disbelief, arguing that the deflection from Davies' leg should negate the penalty. They criticized the handball rules and the decision-making process of referees, suggesting it undermines the integrity of the game.
