It was like a crater in the middle of the game. Nothing that had happened up to that point mattered and, of course, nothing that happened afterward. The penalty of The moon on Swedberg It marked the future of the tie in a way that had not happened in Spanish football for a long time. Especially because, as will be well known by now, the play ended in a goal – a great goal – by Mbappé which, evidently, should not have gone up on the scoreboard.
And then the action can be analyzed from different points of view, the intensity of the contact can be measured and even whether the size of the Swedish player’s boot was regulatory or not, but once the facts are known, the culprits will have to be pointed out.
The first, to the world Montero who was, paradoxically, the one who saw the action best and the one who decided that it was not a penalty.

The hours of videos and paragraphs of ink that would have arisen as a result of all this.

Even so, it seems that he has chosen his ‘culprits’ for all this. Tchouaméniwithout a doubt, is one of them and was whistled throughout the game and another is Ancelottiwho cannot be forgiven for the fact that the team, already in the second part of the season, still does not have a clear idea of the game and trusts everything to the epic of the shirt. This time, with favors involved, the catastrophe was avoided. Let’s see what happens in the next episode.
