The broadcast footage clearly showed a fierce collision in the French box, after which Arsenal winger Noni Madueke crashed to the turf. The Gunners immediately threw their arms in the air, signaling to the referee for what they believed was a stonewall penalty.

The case for awarding a spot-kick was more than compelling. However, the match official decided to let play continue, judging the contact as permissible in the heat of a hard-fought final.

The decision sparked outrage on the touchline: Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and his entire staff threw their hands to their heads and stormed toward the fourth official, demanding immediate VAR intervention. As a result, both Mikel Arteta and team captain Declan Rice were shown yellow cards.

Nevertheless, the video assistant referees opted not to summon the on-field referee to the monitor, leaving the original decision unchanged.

Reminder: PSG star Ousmane Dembélé was substituted due to injury in the Champions League final.
