Vincent Kompany had a bad time on Tuesday in the stands of the Parc des Princes. And not only because Bayern conceded five goals, their troops finally managing to limit the damage by returning to 5-4 after being up to three goals apart. The former central defender also didn’t like having to watch the match from the stands. Consequence of his exclusion during the return match against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
“Never again, I didn’t like it. I told Luis Enrique that I didn’t understand why he liked this position,”
he said at the end of the meeting. This position in the stands allowed him to review certain actions on a screen and form a more precise opinion on the penalty conceded by Luis Diaz for a hand that was close to the body.
And unsurprisingly, the former Citizen had something to say about the match referee’s decision. “I think the penalty is very questionable. From what I saw, the ball hits the thigh before going towards the arm. There was therefore no reason to call a penalty.”he whispered at the end of the meeting.
Joshua Kimmich wants to change the rule
An opinion shared by his captain Joshua Kimmich, who appeared particularly angry with Sandro Schärer after his decision and who still looked bad in front of the microphones at the end of the meeting. “It’s really annoying because there’s not even an opponent behind to score. In my opinion, this rule should be reviewed,” he said in comments relayed by Prime video, adding: “any handball error in the area should not systematically be punished by a penalty. The ball bounces from the knee to the hand and the penalty is very heavy, especially in the semi-final of the Champions League. »
“We can discuss it at length. The ball first hits the body, then the hand. That’s why perhaps it shouldn’t have been whistled.”added the sports director, Max Eberl while on TV, the consultants expressed their indignation.
“It’s super slow motion again, it’s the worst in football, everything looks much worse,” railed Christoph Kramer, adding: “This whistle is really regrettable. He never calls a penalty. »
