PSG 2:1 Juventus

It was in the 22nd minute that Mbappe scored the second goal of his team and the referee’s decision to set off the goal was correct. Mbappe was not initially offside, but it was his colleague Ashraf Hakimi who gave him the ball.

Case explanation:

Hakimi, at the moment when he received the ball from Mbappe himself, and before returning it to Mbappe, he was one step behind the last second defender from Juventus, and therefore was not offside.

2. Status

At the 25th minute, when the referee considered the offense in favor of Paris Saint-Germain and warned the Juventus Premier player and his decision was correct,

Case explanation:

The prime minister committed a violation against Neymar, which is the highest degree of recklessness, since the interference was from the back, but he introduced himself with his foot, and specifically the fusion site was on the boot, and therefore a yellow card is relied upon, but a violation is never tantamount to excessive force, any red card , as requested by the Paris Saint-Germain players.

In the 36th minute, Paris Saint-Germain called for a penalty after Neymar fell into the Juventus penalty area, but the referee ordered the game to continue.

Case explanation:

The referee’s decision is correct, as Cudrado is correct. He put his hand on Neymar from the back, but there was no catch, and Neymar, as soon as the ball was too long for him, he fell, trying to assume that he was a foul, but the position of the hands was normal and the friction was less than normal, so there was no penalty or bypass for Neymar, and the referee’s decision is correct Continuous play.

4. Status

At 45+1 minutes, the referee issued a warning to Juventus player Meriti after Neymar’s reckless interference and recorded a foul in favor of Paris Saint-Germain.

Case explanation:

Meriti skated and his leg was extended and again the situation was of the highest recklessness, speed and strength are present, but what made the situation remain reckless and not excessive force is the place of friction, since Meriti did not hurt Neymar’s leg, but rather his boots touched the ground , and so the place of friction and its strength were weakened, and this made the warning in this shot sufficient.
