Fair referee decision? Havertz opens the scoring in the Champions League match despite handball
The final showdown of Europe's premier tournament between PSG and Arsenal kicked off with breathtaking drama.
Details: The London club struck early thanks to German striker Kai Havertz. The scoreboard flashed 0-1 in favor of the Gunners, but the goal instantly sparked outrage among the Parisian fans.
As clearly shown in the broadcast freeze-frames, during the build-up to the goal in the sixth minute, the ball struck the forearm and an arm pressed to the body of Trossard after a powerful clearance by PSG defender Marquinhos.
Despite the obvious contact between the winger's arm and the ball, the officiating team led by the match referee decided to allow the goal to stand.
So, as things stand in the 10th minute, Arsenal hold a narrow lead.
