After the tie with Newcastle, PSG coach unexpected words about the controversial penalty

PSG achieved a difficult draw against Newcastle after a controversial play that for many was not a penalty, but the referee ended up pointing it out. A certainly controversial action that would determine many things for PSG and Mbappe would end up converting a penalty in the last minute of the match. The Parisian team achieved an important record in this match.

The penalty was successfully taken by Kylian Mbappé to equal Alexander Isak's goal and allow PSG to play for the round of 16 on the last day against Borussia Dortmund. The Polish referee, who had previously added 8 minutes of stoppage time to the match, saw the penalty hit in the hands of Tino Livramento inside the area after the ball hit him in the body.

"To be honest I'm still taking it in. We weren't lucky in the end, I don't think it was a penalty... What repetition doesn't teach you is the speed with which you produce the action. Hit the body first, that's the key. "If he hit first on the arm I would still think it's not a penalty, but maybe he could be right, but when he hits first on a part of his body and then his hands are down it's not a penalty. It shouldn't have cost us the game" said Eddie Howe , Newcastle coach, on the TNT network.

What does Luis Enrique say about the possible penalty?

“I haven't seen any play, I don't look at the VAR. My job is to coach my team, not understand the other coaches. I don't always look at what other people do. I respect my colleagues as much as possible, better ask me about my team and I can answer whatever is necessary,” said Luis Enrique after PSG's victory.
