Why no penalty for Saka vs Neuer? - Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

Saka penalty. Arsenal penalty.

[@danmey73]

Clear yellow for Saka for kicking Neuer…never seen a more awkward movement in my life…

[@nathanarelisky4545]

Whereas we ignore Neuer jumping forward with legs outstretched into Saka's path?

[@helicoptersrkool]

Karma came back swiftly to bite your Bayern with the same officiating tonight. 😉

[@danmey73]

@@helicoptersrkool my Bayern??? BVB supporter since birth my friend. In this case Linesman shouldn’t have put the flag up burning doubt that they would have scored because Real goalie stopped playing

[@juristjenkins4192]

The camera angle makes the change in direction appear exaggerated. Saka was a top speed and made an attempt to evade Neuer. This solo camera angle should not be used to judge the whole ordeal.

[@nathanarelisky4545]

This is madness... Anyone who tries to change direction at pace would have made the same movement as Saka.. Clearly so many people commenting have never run in their life...

[@nickmactavish1565]

The first thing I noticed was the unnatural wideness of the Saka’s legs……y would your right foot be that wide and high in the air when the ball is all the way to your left …..good decision for me……he could have easily went around

[@nathanarelisky4545]

Its not unnatural.. Have you never run before? Try running as fast as you can and then suddenly jump to left and see what your legs do...

[@thangnguyenac]

Neuer was still stretching his leg when colliding with Saka.

[@km4075]

Neuer was balancing not to fall

[@luciodehunter1880]

Saka rather chose to open up his legs to hit Neuer

[@takiezycie11]

I agree that it looks like that, but also take into account that Saka is in full run and suddenly he changes its direction, so it needs space to turn sideways. 50/50 - interpretation of the referee...

[@juristjenkins4192]

The camera angle makes the change in direction appear exaggerated.

[@mostintriguing21]

Saka should get a slap , all he have to do is go around the keeper..

[@mirkecWii]

Well he did try, he was sprinting, tried to change direction in the jump but Neuer came in and extended his leg

[@darth_knaul1420]

AHAHAHAHA yea

[@helicoptersrkool]

Tonight the same Bayern are crying about the same refs. Karma is beautiful. 👍

[@mostintriguing21]

What did the ref did@@helicoptersrkool

[@marhonic]

Saka is basically in front of the ball, it looks like he left it behind and ran towards the keeper to get the pen. Saka isn’t playing the ball in that replay The keeper would literally have to dive out of the way to avoid contact

[@packing999]

Shaka knocked the ball left, he then has to move his body left.. which involves planting your right leg. At the speed he's going he can't just pivot around neuer. Neuer is still moving towards sakas left when contact is made. Showing intent, and he didn't get the ball. Maybe saka could have done more to avoid him... But why should he, that isn't how it works, neure moved towards the ball with his right leg, closing the angle. It isn't as black and white as people are making it sound, I think it's a pen. But from the refs angle it is harder to tell

[@marhonic]

Ah interesting, I need to see the full replay at speed before and after for context. Slo mo pics can be deceiving

[@achampionsmentality5246]

​​@@packing999finally someone said it if you watched from all angles you will see clearly the Neuer moves his right leg at the last min to trip him and that how contact was made, Neuer was never going to get that ball, if Neuer stood still I would've been fine with no pen but because he did that it's a pen all day even if saka was looking for the contact.

[@sharad1986]

I think it is coming from the referee, for not giving the Gabriel penalty for handball. May be he wanted to balance it out

[@tukananihao6830]

It was saka foul on Neuer. Ref should give yellow card for Saka.

[@sharad1986]

@@tukananihao6830 really appreciate your comment, but what i said is more obvious, that is why video referee was also not called out

[@timothyundiandeye416]

Did anyone notice the keeper is nowhere near the ball?

[@km4075]

He does not have to be ! He is in the box therefore he is the protected one ! And he does not do anything to hit Saka

[@WinThose98]

Neuer stopped while Saka kept going in and opened his legs trying to force a penalty. After 1 replay during the match it was more than obvious.

[@nathanarelisky4545]

Clearly you are blind.. You can clearly see Neuer moving forward, and he puts he's leg in Saka's pass. Which makes the fact he's legs moving or still irrelevant

[@TheZejnullahu]

Penalty?! Hahahaha! Saka hit Neuer leg. This is not penalty guys!

[@NHDSEA]

Toàn các thánh không xem cả pha bóng lên bình luận như đúng rồi, Pen rõ ràng ngay cả Rio Ferdinand cũng nói điều đó

[@Cautionable_Offense]

I’ve seen penalties given for less. It’s all about the referee. He probably gives it in another match…didn’t have the balls to give it in that moment.

[@eddyp2692]

Look at where the Ball is and where sakas left leg is positioned. It almost looks like saka kicks the goalkeeper. Saka tries to get a penalty instead of just going around the Keeper and scoring.

[@Cautionable_Offense]

@@eddyp2692 nothing you said changes anything I said.

[@eddyp2692]

@@Cautionable_Offense thats true but i also did not try to edit your comment?! That would have been a ridiculous penalty, you just cant give it. So i disagree with your statement but whatever, if you feel better by saying the ref did not have the balls to give a penalty for the home team. Ok.

[@danmey73]

That’s because eddyp2692 is right and you don’t like to accept it 🤷🏻‍♂️ which is ok

[@momentousafton5817]

Definitely pen

[@mirkecWii]

Saka shouldn't have extended his leg Neuer shouldn't have extended his leg 50-50 Contact in the box Penalty

[@jacobd3159]

What about handball

[@mirkecWii]

@@jacobd3159 there wasnt anything happening, if there was an attack or the ball was in danger, its a penalty. The referee made the right decisions, you dont give penalties for those kind of small mistakes. At worst its a yellow card

[@christopherborst148]

Terrible take, saka was clearly fishing for a pen in no universe would that be a foul

[@mirkecWii]

@@christopherborst148 what ever you say boss, I've seen countess of penalties given for that, literally livakovic vs alvarez last year, its shocking that they didnt look at var

[@christopherborst148]

@@mirkecWii yea and it was a known terrible call then lol, completely against the spirit of the game if you can charge into the goalie and draw a pen that’s not difficult or beautiful or sportsmanlike nor is it even the rule, the keepers body was in a natural position to stop a shot or run it’s on the attacker to avoid running into people 😂 I’ve played for many years, never would I make a cut before leaping and flailing forward, imagine him making a cut in like that with no keeper, completely ridiculous.

[@who9387]

Looks so bloody obvious in your slomo, Saka cleary puts his leg out into Neuer's STATIONERY LEG. Should have been a free kick to Bayern. Grow up Saka you don't need to do stuff like that.

[@darth_knaul1420]

[@hoangtusamac5751]

Saka is very lucky. He should have been booked a yellow for simulation

[@Hazem-ok6lw]

No penalty

[@mustard6]

100% a penalty lol

[@dprince7867]

Everyone forgets that saka is a left footer. That was a clear penalty

[@Official_Amapiano1]

So what if he's left footed, doesn't mean putting your right leg on the goalkeeper

[@arsiahlove6407]

​@@Official_Amapiano1 he sprint then turn left of course there Will be a gap for his run. And neuer right foot move forward to close the movement.

[@bamadityo]

This is by far, the funniest comment.

[@alejandromonsalve13]

Saka perfectly could avoid or dribble Neuer to score, and he prefered to shock. It's not penalty

[@KRXSH4L]

That is not a penalty….bro stretched his leg…he did the same vs Villarreal 2 years ago 😂😂I like Sake but that’s fkn ridiculous blud

[@bigblackaf]

Penalty all day, especially after giving Sane that soft Penalty at the other end

[@907Heathen]

Unfortunately, Saka put his leg out from him, initiating the contact. If he had just run forward and got the contact without moving his leg out from him to make the contact.

[@KomutanOsayi0000]

@@907HeathenBro as a goalkeeper you can’t just extend your leg like that, clear penalty imo.

[@bigblackaf]

He cut the ball to the left and changed direction, that right leg wasn't going to make it around the keeper's extended legs

[@eddyp2692]

​@@bigblackaf his right foot is almost at the level of the goalkeepers knee. Nobody runs like that, all saka wants to do is to create contact. Stupid

[@Yourmomazz]

@@907Heathen And Neuer didnt? Neuer didnt extend his leg, initiating the contact? Difference is. Saka is in possession of the ball, and playing the ball. Neuer isnt anywhere near the ball, extends his leg, and hinders Sakas movement, by initiating the contact you fail to accept by Neuer.
