During extra time of the Champions League final, Nuno Mendes made a borderline intervention on Noni Madueke. The referee of the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal did not give the Gunners a penalty.
Which revolted Grégory Schneider. “Big thanks to Daniel Siebert, the referee who put all his weight behind PSG to keep their title. What a shame… So Ok, the English played the carrot the whole match, waste of time, simulations, etc. But forgetting the penalty on Madueke is amazing”wrote the journalist on his X account.
A post that made hundreds of Internet users jump. In particular some of his colleagues. “Greg, you know I like you but then your message is a shame”replied the one who comments on the matches of the capital club for HERE Paris Île-de-France.
Grégory Schneider, the tweet of shame
According to Saïd Ennjimi, the referee of this C1 final would have made the right decision on the action in question.
“It’s more a question of perception. I feel like Madueke is gaining the upper hand because he grabs her arm. Instead, I see two players in hand-to-hand combat and I find that the Arsenal striker forces his fall. He tries but he has not yet passed his opponent. He has no particular reason to fall, and it is logical that the referee did not whistle a penalty.”analyzed the former international referee forThe Team.
Even the English press refuses to damn Daniel Siebert after this second setback for Arsenal in the Champions League final, twenty years after the first. Especially since the Gunners’ opening score was marred by a handball.
