Bizarre Arsenal Penalty Decision

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes referee Danny Makkelie was influenced by a similar decision involving PSG against Bayern Munich. "I think the referees have been influenced by the decision that happened [in Paris]," he told TNT Sports.

Match of the Day pundit Stephen Warnock called it a "bizarre decision" but noted it's not surprising in the Champions League context. "His arm is already in that position and I know people might say it is an unnatural position but he's trying to block a shot," Warnock said. "It's just a bizarre decision but I wouldn't say we are shocked at seeing it given in the Champions League." afrikasportnews.co.za
