Referee Marciniak did not stop the game but è was called off by VAR

PSG drew, at home, the challenge with Newcastle thanks to a penalty converted by Mbappé in minute 98. A goal that, in fact, allows Luis Enrique’s team to play their passage to the round of 16 with much more serenity (against Borussia Dortmund, already qualified) and two points ahead of the Milan-Newcastle duo.

In England, all the media went wild against the decision made by VAR. Referee Marciniak, in fact, did not stop the game but è was called off by VAR. Hence, the penalty awarded to PSG and converted by Mbappé.

The Sun points out how the ball kicked by Dembelé first hit Livramento’s chest and then his elbow. Very angry Howe, Newcastle coach: "On the penalty I can’t say what I really think. But he catches the chest first, and therefore he doesn’t è penalty". Shearer, English soccer legend, there è already went heavy, speaking of a "load of m…a" on Newcastle. Eloquent was the headline in The Sun: "Killing the Game".
