Arsenal and Bayern Munich played out a thrilling 2-2 on Tuesday night.
The Gunners fought back from behind and England star Bukayo Saka raced through on goal only to be brought down by Manuel Neuer or fall down depending on your point of view of the incident.
The Saka/Neuer decision slowed to .25x speed. 🧐

One man that was is no doubt that the referee made the correct call was Paolo Di Canio who slammed the Arsenal star.
Sky Italy quoted Di Canio as being critical of Saka’s protests following the decision.
He said: “He moves blatantly the leg towards Neuer, it’s never a penalty.”
“He didn’t behave as an experienced player. He behaved liked a baby with no experience.”
Di Canio has experience of being a baby himself when he was given an 11-game ban for pushing referee Paul Alcock to the floor when he was shown his marching orders against… you guessed it, Arsenal.
