Not many neutrals concurred with him. As previous FIFA arbitrator Urs Meier told Goal, “Real was searching for reach, it was unmistakably excessively little for a punishment.
“I was significantly more astonished when [referee] Danny Makkelie highlighted the spot. At that point, I thought there may have been contact, which I missed in the genuine speed.
“However, then, at that point the sluggish movement replay affirmed my initial feeling: there was nothing there that ought to have brought about a punishment.
“I ANTICIPATED THAT THE VAR SHOULD ADDRESS THE CHOICE. AS FAR AS I MIGHT BE CONCERNED, IT IS TOTALLY UNIMAGINABLE THAT HE DIDN’T BASICALLY SEND THE ARBITRATOR BEFORE THE SCREEN TO TAKE A GANDER AT THE OCCURRENCE ONCE MORE.”
Online media, as it so regularly does, quickly went into emergency.
“No penalty!!!” shouted previous France safeguard Bixente Lizarazu. Ex-Scotland global Don Hutchison considered it a shambolic choice.
Indeed, even various England symbols scrutinized the call.
