UEFA finally speaks on Manchester United VAR penalty decision against PSG

Rashford Penalty against PSG in Champions League

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) supports the VAR decision to award Manchester United penalty which kicked Paris St-Germain out of the Champions League.

Okay Nigeria recalls that the decision came after PSG defender Kimpembe was penalised for handball in the final minute as referee Damir Skomina ruled he had blocked Diogo Dalot’s shot with his arm after watching replays.

However, the governing body of football in Europe supported the decision explaining that the distance the ball covered was “not short” and Kimpembe’s arm was “not close” to his body.

UEFA also added that, “the impact could therefore not be unexpected” and “the defender’s body [was made] bigger thus resulting in the ball being stopped from travelling in the direction of the goal.

“The referee, therefore, awarded a penalty kick.

“Given that the referee did not recognise the incident clearly during live play [referred to as serious missed incident in the VAR protocol] an on-field review was conducted.”

After being awarded the penalty, Marcus Rashford scored to earn United a 3-1 win on the night and send them through on away goals.

It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
