So it was the right decision.

And on the red, it hit a Bayern arm first. So, turns out the ref got both decisions right. According to the BBC.....

And as a final and irrefutable contribution to this dilemma, I can confirm that the referee is Portuguese.

As for the handball is not a handball if your player kicked it - unless I have missed something all these years this is just UEFA making it up as they go along, absurd.

But it was on the BBC, Wes :-)

The rule is perfectly clear, it is just that nobody knew about it :-)

I watched the 'red card' again. Their excuse is utter nonsense. That's a deliberate handball and a second yellow.
