UEFA did not forgive the PSG referee’s scandal in the Newcastle United match

The refereeing decisions left their mark on the PSG-Newcastle United match played last night in Group F of the UEFA Champions League.

90+5 with the English team winning 1-0. Within a minute, Dembélé’s return ball from the French team bounced off Livramento’s chest and hit his hand, and Polish referee Szymon Marciniak continued play. While Marciniak, who was observing the position on the screen before the warning of VAR referee Tomasz Kwiatkowski, called a penalty, Mbappé converted the shot into a goal at 90+8 and declared the score 1-1.

UEFA, which took immediate action after the wrong decision, expelled the VAR referee Kwiatkowski and his assistant in the AVAR, Ivan Bebek (referee of the accident Braga-Fenerbahçe) from the Real Sociedad-Salzburg match played last night in Group D. The German Marco Fritz was appointed to the VAR, and Alper Ulusoy, who rightly had Halil Umut Meler’s penalty overturned in the Lazio-Celtic match the day before, was appointed to the AVAR.
