Neymar's indecent tirade

There is no punishment. How might it be a handball when it hits his back! Go **** yourselves!"

"I trust it is the correct one," Solskjaer said. "I didn't see it. I was simply helping the official to quiet my staff down, however, there is nothing we can do about it now. They state it was the correct choice."

The late VAR punishment choice was as disputable as it was definitive with Neymar taking to Instagram to express his skepticism at the granting of a spot kick. He stated: "There is no punishment. How might it be a handball when it hits his back!"

Is it safe to say that it was a punishment?

"It is a punishment and the way that the official has had the capacity to go and see it again and settle on that choice, he appears to have settled on the correct choice. I don't figure numerous individuals will contend it was anything but a pen, however, I would feel hard done by," the previous Man City safeguard revealed to The Debate.

"He [Presnel Kimpembe] has gone somewhat unnatural by the way he has turned noticeable all around to square it," was O'Shea's perspective on the occurrence.

PSG mentor Thomas Tuchel in the interim said he was as yet a promoter of VAR regardless of the late choice and was additionally left paralyzed by his group's unexpected exit guaranteeing Manchester United advanced to the following round without assaulting.

"They had three objectives without assaulting, without making an opportunity. It's hard, perhaps difficult to examine this," he said.
