Referee Rejects Marseille’s Penalty Claim Over Éder Militão Handball

On Tuesday, September 16, Real Madrid hosted Marseille, and just before halftime, a controversial incident took place.

Details: Marseille midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia attempted to score, but his shot was blocked by Éder Militão. The Brazilian player’s arm was extended during the block, leading to debate over whether it constituted a penalty. The officials decided against awarding a penalty, despite the questionable positioning of the arm.

Reminder: An unusual incident occurred during the Champions League group stage match between Tottenham and Villarreal, when the Spanish side’s goalkeeper scored a bizarre own goal.
