ARSENAL/BAYERN: REFEREE SAID HANDBALL WAS KID’S MISTAKE – TUCHEL
Bayern Munich coach, Thomas Tuchel has called out referee Glenn Nyberg for freak handball offence committed by Arsenal’s Gabriel
Tuchel: “The referee made a huge mistake, there was a penalty for handball”.
“I know it was a crazy situation. They put the ball down, he whistles and the defender takes the ball with his hands”.
“What makes us really angry is the explanation on the pitch. He told our players it was a ‘kid’s mistake’ and he won’t give a penalty for that in a Champions League quarterfinal. It’s a horrible, horrible explanation. Kid’s mistake, adult’s mistake, whatever – we feel angry because it was a huge decision against us”.
The home side were left furious at the final whistle after Saka was denied a late penalty having gone down under a challenge from Manuel Neuer to leave the tie hanging in the balance.
