Saká's handball sparks Champions League debate
The UEFA Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain sparked controversy over a refereeing decision in the 16th minute when Bukayo Saka handled the ball inside the penalty area, prompting protests from PSG players demanding a penalty kick. Despite their protests, German referee Daniel Siebert and his VAR team decided not to award a penalty, based on the handball rule which states that a handball is a foul if it makes the player's body look bigger or if the arm is positioned unnaturally. According to this interpretation, they deemed Saka's position to be natural and not deserving of a penalty.
