The ode to football between Inter and Barcelona (4-3) during the return match of the Champions League semi-finals left several controversial actions.
One of them in particular, the Pau Cubarsí penalty on Lautaro Martínez, who allowed Hakan çalhanoglu to lead 2-0 in the 45th minute, aroused criticism from Arsène Wenger, director of world football development of FIFA.
“I am totally against this type of penalty. And I’m totally against the use of Var in slow motion. At normal speed, this is an important tackle, “said former Arsenal coach.
“Look at what Lautaro Martínez does. He knows he’s not going to score and leans for Cubarsí. He is looking for the penalty. In my opinion, the referee did not make the right decision, “said Wenger.
“Look who catches the ball first. For me, that’s what matters. Lautaro does the rest. Cubarsí plays the ball first, ”explains Wenger.
