Was the referee right to deny Liverpool a penalty?
contentious moment in the match between Liverpool and PSG has left Reds fans wondering if their team was denied a legitimate penalty claim.
In the dying moments of the match, the ball found Dominik Szoboszlai in the box, and he subsequently went to ground
The question on everyone’s lips was whether he was fouled by PSG’s Fabian Ruiz.
The referee paused, seemingly considering the incident, but ultimately chose not to blow the whistle.
The play continued, and the incident was reviewed by the VAR officials.
Replays of the incident showed that Ruiz did indeed make contact with Szoboszlai, swiping at the Liverpool midfielder.
However, Szoboszlai’s delayed reaction, going down to the ground after a few seconds, may have influenced the referee’s decision.
The denial of the penalty claim has left Liverpool fans frustrated, with their team currently trailing 1-0 on the night, although the aggregate score remains level at 1-1. The incident has added to the drama and tension of the match, with Liverpool pushing hard for an equalizer in the limited time remaining.
