There are no questions for the judge.
The Champions League play-off match between Leipzig and City developed dramatically. Away from England by Mahrez opened the scoring in the 27th minute. Twenty minutes before the end of the game, the central defender of the hosts Joshko Guardiol, who is also sent to City in the summer, equalized with his head.
Fans of the “citizens” tried to find the moment that, in their opinion, took away the victory from the team, and they did it . The same thing happened with the British media.
On a poor quality replay, they saw Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs allegedly handball in the 92nd minute.
Moreover, this moment was not shown on television, and conclusions were drawn only from a fan video from the podium. Even Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves and Sean Wright-Phillips, pundits at BT Sport, were outraged, while Guardiola, who signaled a violation during the game, later pleaded that he had not seen the episode.
Finally, a replay appeared, which removes all questions about the phantom penalty: it was not. Henrichs played not with his hand, but clearly with his shoulder. Most likely, VAR watched the moment in silent mode and the judges did not see the violation, because, firstly, there was no violation, and secondly, they have more opportunities and angles to watch the episode.
