Claudius Sure it was a penalty, but if you alter a straightforward situation by hanging your leg out like that, you're less likely to get the call. It's not good versus evil. It's how it is versus how we'd like it to be.
And on the last kick of the first leg of an ultra high profile tie worth £20m+ in winnings either way. So the match referee chokes because he's got the VAR for backup, and the VAR chokes because he doesn't want to own un-choking the match referee. These officials are just as brittle psychologically as half our XI were today.
