Michael Olise is brought down in the box by a push from Álvaro Carreras, and the Bayern players erupt. Referee Michael Oliver lets play continue without batting an eyelid, ignoring the outraged cries of both Bayern Munich players and fans. It was a strange decision, given the magnitude of this fixture and what’s at stake.
Every chance, every foul, every goal matters. Was that enough to warrant a penalty? The jury is out.
However, it is strange that there was no check; there was no confirmation. And this could be a costly error, depending on how the second leg pans out. So, what do you think?
