Details: Bellingham tried to push the ball past, but Eric García blocked him and deflected the ball out for a corner with his hand. Initially, the referee didn't spot the handball and signaled for a corner, but after a VAR review, he reversed his decision and awarded a penalty.

Reminder: Barcelona fans were outraged that the referee allowed Bellingham's goal after a controversial incident involving Huijsen.
