Controversy! Manchester City s handball was ignored, the referee refused to see VAR+ awarded the goal, Asian team surrounded and protested

On July 1, the focus of the Club World Cup knockout match, Premier League giant Manchester City faced Asian single Riyadh Crescent. Before this game, Inter Milan lost 0-2 to Fruminense, so the winner of Manchester City and Riyadh Crescent will encounter this South American powerhouse in the quarterfinals.

Of course, for Manchester City, who are stronger and more valuable, the first game of the knockout stage against Riyadh Crescent is considered to be the best signing of all European giants. As long as they perform their strength normally, even if they come on the bench, Manchester City has great hope of advancing.

And it was indeed the first to score in this game, but this goal still caused some controversy: at the 11th minute of the game, Manchester City started the dream, and with the goal of the B seat in the chaos, "Blue Moon" led 1-0.

But after the city was broken, Riyadh Crescent players were very dissatisfied. They immediately surrounded the referee and signaled that before Manchester City scored, Nuri touched the ball in his arm, protesting that the goal was fouled first!

Regularly speaking, when there is a controversy, especially when it comes to whether the goal is scored or not, the referee will hear the video referee's prompt from the headphones. However, this time, the referee on duty is very determined. He believes that the goal is effective and Manchester City is an unintentional handball, so VAR does not intervene. Even though the Riyadh New Moon player protests for a long time, the referee is still very determined, constantly emphasizing that Nouri is close to his arm and has no foul.

However, many fans raised objections to this penalty, believing that although the arm is close to the torso, the handball is obviously profitable. It is unbelievable if you don’t look at VAR to confirm it again. Some people also said: "The upper arm is close to the torso, but Nuri’s forearm is forward, and the forearm is the touching part of the ball, so the ball is still larger in the handball!"

In short, this goal is full of controversy. Even if Manchester City’s overall strength is stronger, they may score more goals, but the moment of conceding after the game will somewhat affect the deployment of Riyadh Crescent before the game. What do you think about this?
