The big match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Germany, was marred by misjudgment.
The two teams played the first leg of the UEFA Champions League UCL quarterfinals in the 2023-24 season at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, on the 10th, with a 2-2 draw.
The game was tight. Bukayo Saka scored the opening goal in the 12th minute of the first half. Then, Serge Gnabry scored an equalizer in the 18th minute of the first half for Bayern Munich, and Harry Kane scored a come-from-behind equalizer in the 32nd minute of the first half. Arsenal finished the game with a 2-2 draw with Leandro Torosar's equalizer in the 31st minute of the second half.
There was also an evaluation that it was a great match, but it was a game full of controversy over misjudgment. A case in point is that Bukayo Saka, who tripped over Manuel Neuer in the second half of the extra time, was not given a penalty.
Kane committed another foul. In the 10th minute of the second half, Kane hit Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalangis in the neck with his elbow during the competition for aerial ball. Magalangis collapsed. Kane was shown a yellow card, not a red card. This was also at the center of controversy. Many argue that he should have been shown a red card. On social media, he strongly criticized Kane as he re-examined the foul he committed against Magalangis during his time with Tottenham.
Against this backdrop, former EPL referee Kes Hackett tried his best to end the controversy. He expressed his expert opinion through the U.K.'s Telegraph. In conclusion, it was Kane's exit.
Hackett said: "Cain should have been sent off against Arsenal. He swung his elbow at Magalangis. It was dangerous, reckless and over-stretched. You can see it from the way Kane looked back at Magalangis and identified where he was. Kane knew exactly what he was doing."
"Cain, who used his elbow as a weapon against the opponent's defender but still received a yellow card, is truly lucky. If Kane committed the same foul in the EPL, he would be out. I would have given him a red card, too," he said. 바카라사이트 순위
Kane spent his entire career in England before moving to Bayern Munich this season. He knows the EPL very well. The same applies to the intensity and judgment of fouls. Has he forgotten the EPL less than a year ago when he moved to Germany? UCL referees, not EPL referees, saved Kane. If it was EPL, he would not have played in the next game.
