Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) was involved in a ‘favoritism’ incident.
Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg of their 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinal first leg at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, on Tuesday. Arsenal opened the scoring. Xhaka opened the scoring in the 12th minute.
Bayern equalized in the 18th minute through Serge Navri. Kane made it 2-1 in the 32nd minute with a penalty kick. But the game was not evenly matched. Arsenal’s Leandro Trosar found the back of the net in the 31st minute.
Kane’s foul was controversial. 카지노사이트 He hit Arsenal center back Gabriel Magalhaes in the neck with an elbow in the 10th minute of the second half during a ball competition. It happened right in front of the referee. It was a very intentional strike.
However, Kane got away with a yellow card.
The Arsenal fans were screaming that Kane should have gotten a red card.
‘Kane should have been sent off for a deliberate elbow’, ‘Kane should have been given a clear red card, not a yellow’. He knew Gabriel was there and deliberately elbowed him in the neck. This needs to be corrected. Kane is known for being dirty,” and “there was no VAR (video assistant referee) confirmation of the intentional elbow,” among other angry comments.
The penalty was also controversial. It came in the 22nd minute of the second half. After referee Glenn Nyberg’s whistle, Arsenal goalkeeper David Luiz passed the ball to Gabriel on the sideline. Gabriel, however, picked up the ball with his hand.
Kane and other Bayern players protested vehemently, but the referee waved it off as a ‘child’s mistake’.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel was furious.
“The referee made a big mistake. “What really upsets us is the referee’s explanation. He said to our players, ‘It’s a kid’s mistake. We’re not going to give a PK for that in the quarterfinals,'” he said.
“It’s a kid’s mistake, it’s an adult’s mistake, it’s a big decision against us, so we’re angry. It’s a terrible, terrible explanation,” he criticized.
Arsenal also exploded just before the end of the game. Xhaka was tripped by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but the whistle didn’t blow. 메이저 토토사이트 Xhaka continued to protest the referee after the game, but was restrained by his coach and had to swallow his anger.
Bayern’s Kim Min-Jae was named on the substitutes’ bench, but was not called upon in the end. The second leg of the quarterfinal between Bayern and Arsenal will be played on June 18 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
