Arsenal's home game against Bayern Munich was watched as the two sides battled for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, with the first leg drawn 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium. After the game, players, coaches and media on both sides were dissatisfied with the referee, believing that there were missed penalties, red cards from the opposing side, etc.
First of all, at the level of Arsenal, in the 95th minute, Saka broke through and fell to the ground after making contact with Manuel Neuer, and the referee did not award a penalty. After the game, Saka was very dissatisfied with the referee and stepped forward to theorize. Many fans said that Neuer had stretched his leg and touched Saka, but did not touch the ball, so it is not an exaggeration to give a penalty. The referee's decision was controversial, including Rio Ferdinand, Keown and Carragher deemed it a penalty.
Arsenal's goalkeeper and defender made a mistake, Raya kicked it out, Gabriel picked up the ball directly with his hand, the referee did not indicate it, and Bayern's players and manager protested, saying that Gabe was obviously a foul in the box and should be given a penalty. Therefore, Bayern were unhappy with the missed penalty, believing that Raya had kicked off and Gabe had handballed in the box.
On the Bayern side, Kane received a yellow card in the game, but was accused of being sent off with a red card, because before facing Gabe, he obviously looked at the opponent's position and still elbowed Gabriel, including CBS reporter James Benge, London football reporter Kaya Kaynak, "Marca" reporter Chris Winterburn and others all believe that Kane's behavior is a red card, an obvious deliberate elbow blow, and the nature is bad.
Although the score of 2-2, both teams can not say that they are not satisfied, but the process of the game and the referee's judgment make many fans feel dissatisfied, thinking that the referee has an average ability to control the game, some obvious fouls, and no penalties were given, more of a state of mud.
The next leg between the two teams will be in Munich, and after the Champions League knockout round is restructured, there is no home-and-away scoring rule, so it is expected that Bayern and Arsenal will perform at that time.
