“The penalty should have been whistled”, “we should have 6 points”: Frustration in Marseille

It is an immense feeling of frustration that inhabited the OM players after the draw conceded against Galatasaray (0-0). Firstly because they dominated the second half and, at points, there is no picture between Turks cornered on their goal and conquering Marseillais. But it was not enough. At the heart of Phocean lamentations, this damn 79th minute. While Mattéo Guendouzi collapsed in the area after contacting his back with Patrick van Aanholt, the referee immediately designated the penalty spot. Invited by his assistants in the headset to view the image, he hesitates a lot, almost four minutes anyway, before canceling his decision.

On the lawn, Guendouzi went into black anger. But nothing worked. No penalty or victory for OM. The Marseille environment had still not digested after the meeting. ” He does not touch the ball, he unbalances me. Clearly, there is a penalty, no need to check the images. do not understand “, railed Guendouzi on Canal Plus. However, on closer inspection, it is difficult to be sure. If the contact does take place in the Turkish area, is it enough to cause a penalty? No doubt for William Saliba, the phlegmatic defender of OM: ” The penalty should have been whistled, judged the former Stéphanois. We are frustrated. We should have won. “”
