The played already is definitely one of the most controversial and debatable of what goes of Champions League by a lot of reasons. For some, the penalti did not exist and was Icardi the one who looked for to Courtois and threw to cause the maximum penalty. For others, there is penalti, but no red to the ex of Chelsea, since the car happen of Icardi went far and was not self-evident occasion of goal.
For many others, so much the penalti like the expulsion are very clear and the VAR made a mistake clearly when saying him to the referee that saw the played previous in the monitor. Because if the own penalti and the red have several readings, the played of the fault to Marcelo does not remain backwards. The push that gives him Gueye to the side is minimum, but for the referee was sufficient for desequilibrarle.
The party had changed totally
It was as it was, what is not debatable is that the played is surrounded of controversy and that goes to be followed speaking of her in the next days.

The meeting had changed completely and, of the bathroom merengue in the first time would have happened to another thing.
Never it will know what had happened to having followed with the maximum penalty and the expulsion, but yes knows that in the first 45 minutes in Madrid went through on of the PSG. The madridistas were a lot of better that the Frenchmen and attained to advance thanks to a goal of Karim Benzema in the minute 16.
