After the controversial penalty decision in injury time of the Champions League game between Paris St. Germain and Newcastle United (1-1), the responsible video assistant Tomasz Kwiatkowski was suspended for one game by UEFA.
The Pole was also supposed to assist in the Group D game between Real Sociedad and RB Salzburg on Wednesday, but will not be used there.
In the game in Paris, referee Szymon Marciniak (Poland) initially did not give a penalty following an alleged handball by Newcastle’s Valentino Livramento, but was then asked by Kwiatkowski to go to the sidelines to look at the pictures. The referee then decided to and Superstar Kylian Mbappé (90+8) converted the following penalty to make the final score 1-1.
The VAR had switched on, although Livramento had received a cross from ex-Dortmunder Ousmane Dembele from close range, first hitting his upper body and then bouncing off his arm.
Newcastle coach Eddie Howe called the whistle, the group rivals Borussia Dortmund probably cost us early group victory following the game as a “wrong decision“.
