""I was a goalkeeper and you cannot stop your movement, you go for the ball -- it has a trajectory and a line," added Nuno. "How many times you see this happen and nothing given. Not in my days and not today, it should not be given. "That is how I see it. We have the referee, the VAR and we have to accept. For me it is not a penalty.""
