Thierry Henry on the referee awarding a penalty for Kvaratskhelia but not for Madueke:
π£οΈ βI'm furious, absolutely furious.
Someone needs to explain the consistency to me because I'm not seeing it.
Madueke gets brought down and we're told it's not enough for a penalty. A few minutes later, a similar incident happens with Kvaratskhelia and suddenly the whistle goes.
How can players, managers, and fans trust the process when the same challenge is being judged differently in the same game?
For me, that's unacceptable.
The referee has made himself the main talking point of the match, and that's the last thing you want in a final.
If one is a penalty, then both are penalties. If one isn't, then neither is. It really is that simple.β
