I think it would have been a very harsh penalty given he blocked a clearance from his own player. But I didn't think the rule made that distinction.Quote:

Turns out there is an exemption for when the ball is hit at you by a team mate. Unless the handball is intentional.Quote:

I just watched the alleged Bayern handball and saw no contact at all, it certainly wasn't clear. I think the ref knew it was a second yellow against Mendes and invented a phantom call to avoid having to make a difficult decision.Quote:

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

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