This Wednesday morning, the English press cried foul after the penalty awarded to PSG against Newcastle. A very generous penalty according to the British media, which speaks of theft. But it is not only in England that this fact of the game is causing ink to flow. In France, some believe that the referee should not have awarded this penalty to the French club. This is the case of Samir Nasri. Present last night on Canal+the former Arsenal and Manchester City player did not mince his words.

“For me, there is never a penalty! The ball hits the body first and then bounces on the hand, even if the rule no longer exists. And the rules, sometimes, they are not all good. I think it’s compensation for everything that happened during the match. For me, on both hands, there is no penalty (…) The penalty, I see it in the action of Achraf Hakimi”. The Marseillais has a clear opinion.
