Referee’s call under question? PSG defender clips Barcelona player but no penalty given

On Wednesday, October 1, Barcelona and PSG clashed in their UEFA Champions League second group stage match, and midway through the first half a debatable incident occurred.

Details: PSG defender Illia Zabarnyi made contact with his opponent’s leg inside the penalty area, causing the Barcelona player to go down immediately. The referee waved play on, and even after a VAR review, the decision not to award a penalty stood.

Reminder: PSG supporters have spread across the city, scattered all over Barcelona, with some shouting and directing insults at the Catalan club.
