Bayern Munich star slams referee for refusing to punish Arsenal's 'stupid mistake' | R7N2E2D | 2024-04-12 16:08:01
Thomas Muller let rip at referee Glenn Nyberg for failing to apply the principles and denying Bayern Munich a transparent penalty towards Arsenal in final night time's Champions League clash.
Bayern felt they were robbed of an obvious spot kick midway through the second half of last night's pulsating 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium after Gunners defender Gabriel inexplicably picked up the ball following a David Raya aim kick.
The Swedish match official Glenn Nyberg reportedly opted towards awarding a penalty due the bizarre nature of the incident, with his on-field explanation branded 'horrible' by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
Veteran forward Muller, an unused substitute last night time, was equally perplexed by the referee's refusal to penalise Arsenal and recommended it was evidence of a long-running conspiracy towards German teams.
He stated: 'It perhaps is what Matthias Sammer has typically talked about: German teams and the foyer of Collina's (Pierluigi Collina, head of the FIFA and UEFA Referees' Committee) colleagues, that's one thing to be questioned.
'That's a rule ebook. In Kreisliga (district league), in the Bundesliga and in addition within the Champions League. The referee blows the whistle, the goalkeeper plays the ball and a player takes the ball together with his hand.
'Based on the principles, this is handball in the penalty area and a transparent penalty. I can understand the referee's arguments that it was a child's mistake.
'He doesn't need to determine the sport via such a wierd state of affairs. However he did have an affect on the game with this choice – it is all the time higher to comply with the principles.
'The referee noticed it clearly. The mistake was just too stupid for him to award a penalty. Nevertheless it's not his choice to make. The referee is there to implement the principles. Even in the event you is probably not glad with the rule.
'I don't assume the rule says: OK, if it wasn't intentional, decide up the ball and put it down once more for a objective kick… I don't know what it says. I feel it's a transparent penalty.'

'We're obviously disenchanted we couldn't maintain on in the long run,' stated the on-loan Tottenham defender who was given a frosty reception on his return to north London.
'However I feel we executed the sport plan very properly after we conceded the first aim. We have been very medical, created possibilities and scored after which we defended nicely. We additionally created possibilities in transition and hit the submit in the long run.
'It's disappointing to concede this aim, however I assume it's just 0-0 now. We just have to point out what we confirmed immediately, the dedication, the camaraderie between us, and then there's clearly little question concerning the high quality of our gamers.'
