Michel Platini, believes that the referee Damir Skomina should never have awarded the penalty to the Red Devils. "During my years at the International Board, I've always tried to defend the game and protect the players, and what happened on Wednesday just confirmed my story, which is that the Parisian player ( Kimpembe) turns around and the ball hits him arm involuntarily, the referee did what he had to do by awarding a corner kick, and then people told him he needed to take a closer look. Awarding a PK after any contact of the hand (in the box), is against the spirit of football, against the game. And this may lead to situations where, instead of focusing on crossing the ball forward or their kick, the players will first target the hand of the defender, "said the former French player for the Journal du Dimanche.
