00:00This is one of the worst types of decisions, but it's the kind of penalty you see given a lot
00:04in the Champions League.
00:06PSG were awarded a penalty for a supposed handball from Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies,
00:11and it's annoying for three reasons.
00:13Let's have a look.
00:15So the first thing is that it's so close.
00:17Davies is barely two yards away from Dembele when he's crossing the ball, giving him no time to react.
00:23Second, if you look closely, you can see that the ball actually clips Davies on the thigh,
00:27so it deviates before hitting his hand.
00:30Again, that makes it impossible for him to react and move his arm to avoid the contact.
00:35Thirdly, the fact that this sort of a foul leads to a penalty, roughly a 75% chance of a
00:40goal,
00:41just feels excessive and a bit out of sync with the situation that caused it.
00:45It was only after a VAR check that the penalty was given, and it might prove to be a massive
00:50moment in the tie.
00:51But what do you think? If Bayern are knocked out in the second leg next week, is this the moment
00:56that cost them?
