FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Chelsea Vs Bayern Munich after a clear Red Card was not awarded and Cole Palmer goal ruled as Offside

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was unequivocally adamant that Bayern defender Jonathan Tah’s challenge on Joao Pedro warranted a red card, rather than the yellow card he received. The contentious incident occurred during the build-up to Cole Palmer’s goal, which narrowed the deficit to 2-1. Maresca’s fervent protests were palpable, as he vociferously argued that Tah’s actions constituted a clear red card offense.

“I believe it’s a straightforward red card,” Maresca asserted. “When a player has no intention of playing the ball and instead aims to kick an opponent, why wouldn’t it be a red card?” Maresca’s indignation was further underscored by his own yellow card for dissent.

Conversely, Tah disputed Maresca’s interpretation, suggesting that a red card would have been justified only if he had struck Pedro in the face. “I can comprehend the yellow card; it was the correct decision,” Tah remarked.

Intriguingly, Bayern manager Vincent Kompany offered a divergent perspective on the incident, positing that Pedro was the one who should have been penalized. “I believed a foul was committed in the other direction; I thought Pedro was fouled,” Kompany explained. “It seemed to me that his shirt was being pulled, and he was attempting to free himself.”

Despite the fervent debate surrounding the incident, Maresca expressed satisfaction with Chelsea’s overall performance, acknowledging that they had competed admirably against a formidable opponent. “Personally, I’m pleased with our performance, given the difficulty of facing such a strong team,” Maresca said. “We knew it would be an arduous match, but overall, I believe we acquitted ourselves well.”
