The referee who called a penalty kick for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League was dismissed.

AFP reported on the 30th (Korean time) that “the video assistant referee (VAR) referee was dismissed from the UEFA Champions League group stage match between PSG and Newcastle (England), which ended in a 1-1 draw the previous day.”

He added, “The referee in question was originally scheduled to serve as a VAR referee in the 5th match of the Group D match between Real Sociedad (Spain) and Salzburg (Austria) on this day, but was replaced.”

PSG drew 1-1 in the 5th match of the UEFA Champions League Group F against Newcastle held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 29th.

On this day, PSG gave up the first goal in the 24th minute of the first half and continued to attack without stopping in the second half. PSG was unable to open Newcastle's goal, but avoided defeat with an additional penalty kick goal in the second half.

During the PSG attack, Newcastle Tino Libramento was hit in the body and in the arm. The referee did not call it a handball, but the VAR referee pointed it out. Accordingly, the referee decided to award a penalty kick after reviewing the field from the stadium. Kylian Mbappe succeeded and barely escaped defeat.

Due to the two teams' draw, PSG maintained second place with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses (7 points), while Newcastle ranked 3rd with 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses (5 points).

However, the controversy grew after the game. Some pointed out that the penalty kick taken by PSG at the end of the game was a misjudgment. James Jenas, a former England national team midfielder, said, “This is the most shameful decision. “It was absolutely not a penalty kick,” he insisted.

Newcastle coach Eddie Howe also said, “The ball hit Libramento’s body and hit his hand. “It was an inappropriate decision,” he said, expressing dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision.
