- Bayern Munich have expressed their fury after a controversial handball decision went against them during their Champions League semi-final against PSG.
- The incident involved PSG's Joao Neves, whose arm was struck by the ball after a deflection off teammate Vitinha, prompting strong penalty appeals from Bayern players.
- Despite clear contact and Neves' arm being in an elevated position, VAR did not intervene, upholding the on-field decision.
- The ruling was rooted in the Law of the Game, which specifies a handball is not committed if a player is hit by a ball played by a teammate, provided it does not lead directly to a goal or immediate scoring opportunity.
- This perceived inconsistency drew widespread criticism, with Harry Kane among the Bayern players to remonstrate with officials.
