Problem for the Parisians, the referees do not generally agree, believing that the official made the right decision. “Benzema touches Donnarumma. There is contact, but I see no fault. The referee let the action play out and it benefited them both. It was a very difficult match to referee but it went well,” said former Spanish referee César Barrenechea Montero in the columns of Mundo Deportivo.
The referees unanimous, the right decision made
Same story for Bruno Derrien, former referee who analyzed the situation in the columns of Parisian. “I am not convinced that Benzema is at fault, he told us. There is a slight touch, it is true, but it is not a mason’s push either. For me, it’s mainly a mistake of the goalkeeper. The VAR intervenes in the case of a gross referee fault, this is not the case. That the goal is validated, it is not shocking ”. An opinion shared by Said Ennjimi in L’Equipe. “Certainly, the contact can be whistled because there is a small fault. But for me, it is quite logical that the referee lets the game continue. Donnarumma clears the ball before being touched”.
