Liverpool and Atlético Madrid are facing off in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League, and a contentious incident occurred during the first half.

Details: A Liverpool player entered the penalty area and attempted a cross into the center. An Atlético Madrid defender went to ground with a sliding challenge, and the ball struck his hand, but the referees decided not to award a penalty for the incident.

In the match between Real and Marseille, there was another controversial moment. French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia drove inside and took a shot on goal, but Éder Militão blocked it. However, the Brazilian did so with his hand extended. Despite this, the referees also ignored the incident.

Reminder: Mohamed Salah managed to set another Champions League record for an English club.
