What is a handball? Ref rules against Bayern twice in UCL semi vs. PSG
Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Champions League final on Wednesday, securing a 6-5 aggregate victory after a 1-1 draw against Bayern.
Referee Pinheiro declined to whistle two first-half handball shouts against PSG, frustrating the home crowd at the Allianz Arena during the contentious semifinal.
In the 29th minute, Bayern's Konrad Laimer touched the ball around Nuno Mendes, who allegedly blocked it with his arm; two minutes later, Vitinha's clearance struck Joa Neves directly in the arm.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany expressed visible frustration on the touchline; his side managed only a late consolation goal from Harry Kane in stoppage time.
PSG will face Arsenal for the Champions League title on May 30 at the Puska s Are na in Budapest, Hungary, pursuing back-to-back tournament victories.
Two decisions by referee Joao Pinheiro cause excitement in the Aus des FC Bayern in the royal class. Bavaria rages against the Portuguese – and criticizes the Uefa for its creation.
