After a high quality first leg match between PSG and Bayern, the two teams met again this evening at the Allianz Arena. At halftime, it was the Parisians who returned to the locker room with a two-goal lead. In the double confrontation, they lead six goals to four. But what especially struck Internet users during this first period was the performance of the referee: João Pinheiro. First on a contentious situation involving a hand from Nuno Mendes, which could have resulted in a red card for the Portuguese full-back. Then on a restart from Vitinha which hit the arm of João Neves, and again, the Portuguese referee did not give a penalty to the Bavarians. To see if these decisions will have an impact on the final result.
