Reason why Arsenal 22-year-old player Bukayo Saka was denied a penalty during the Champions League match Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match after VAR controversy

News from Arsenal as Late drama in the Champions League has made Bukayo Saka and Mikel Arteta very angry.

After Manuel Neuer and Bukayo Saka collided in the last minute, Saka went down, but Arsenal was not given a penalty. We played Bayern Munich. That would have given the Gunners a 3-2 lead going into the second leg of the quarterfinal match. They also thought they should have had a penalty kick to end the game.

Ally McCoist thought at first that Saka had been fouled when he took a touch inside the Bayern area and hit Neuer while running to get the ball, but after watching the video, he changed his mind. He finally got very angry and said, “I thought it was a penalty, I’m telling you right now.”

“Look at this! Does Neuer catch him?” What does Saka do? He puts his foot down. Even though he catches him, the little guy puts his foot in it. I think the judge got that right because Saka doesn’t need to throw his right leg into him.

At first, it looked like VAR had looked over the decision because the judge seemed to tell the players that it had been looked over. But when the ruling was discussed on TNT Sports, the punditry team called it into question, asking if the officials had properly looked into what happened. At the end of the game, the call made Arsenal players very angry, and many of them crowded around the judge.

Martin Keown was shocked that the result did not go in the favor of his old team, as he said after the game. “Wow. I thought it was a fine. I thought the ref did a good job.

“Some people think Saka puts his foot on the ball, but Neuer, the goalkeeper, is actually going after the ball and coming out to make the challenge.” In my book, that’s a fine all day.

Rio Ferdinand agrees with them. He asked, “How has that not been given?” “With VAR and everything, I can’t believe it.” I can’t believe that hasn’t been given.

“That man in your picture [Neuer] has a life there.” I thought Saka was Arsenal’s most scary player today. That’s against the rules because he’s running through there. When I’m in the stadium, I walk around with my hands on top of my head because I can’t believe it.

Later, Ferdinand kept yelling about how angry he was about the choice, adding, “This is the one here.” Neuer waits too long to put his leg on the ball and leaves it out for that split second, which makes it a penalty in my eyes. He is doing that on purpose.”

Keown added to his point by saying, “It’s moving toward the ball.” Nine of the ten best referees in Europe who are here tonight would have given, and this one is the only one who hasn’t. It scares me that he hasn’t given that punishment yet. See how that player is moving toward the ball? That’s enough for me to get a penalty.

He said, “I thought they had to send him to look at it.” During the time he is watching it, he is hunched over and looking straight at it, but they don’t even send him to go look at it. In this game, it’s such a big choice, and a lot is at stake.

He came back. “I think they perhaps thought that we would go with the ref if they weren’t sure about it.” We are slowing that down because it is a big hit. He’s moving very quickly there.”

Ferdinand finally said, “Send him to look at it!” That guy needs to go look at it. As a referee, you should go look at it yourself anyway.

After Leandro Trossard scored the equalizer in the second half, he too thought the referees made the wrong call. “On the pitch it looked like a penalty to me,” he stated. “I haven’t seen the replay but for me, it looked like there was clear contact but I will have to wait until after to see it again.”

It was also frustrating for Tuchel, who said, “Given the performance of the referee today, I would not have been surprised if he whistled for it.” But Arteta played it off and turned the attention away from what happened. He said after the game, “I haven’t seen it.” “The choice has been made. That can’t be changed. Tonight we could have done a lot better.

Arsenal will have a chance to score again next week when they go to Munich. After two games, the score is tied. Mikel Arteta’s team got off to a great start thanks to Saka, but Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane scored to turn things around for the guests.

After Gabriel Jesus’s brilliant play, Trossard got his team back on level terms. The replacement made a huge difference. Everything is up for grabs in the second match.
