It’s both a foul(there’s contact) and a dive (the effect is exaggerated).
That makes it a judgement call.
Those are the facts.
Here’s my opinion: if it’s in the other box, pen. That’s how UEFA roll.
Is there an AA which shows better contact? Looks like a clear dive to me
There is slight contact on his left leg. The way that he exaggerated it by leaping off his right leg made it look a bit suss and probably put the ref in two minds.
Good decision by the ref imo
Not even a check? A peek? A little lookey-loo? Nothing?!
The most blatant penalty I’ve ever seen
The first angle it looks 100% like a pen but then all the other angles make you wonder how his legs could explode in the other direction like that without diving.
The ref must be a closet Russian
Silly Italians. Mudryk skies all his good chances. No need to foul the guy
Are they PL refs?
This should have at least gone to VAR.
Ceferin’s comment before the match 👁️👁️👁️
Unclear from the replay that the defender didn’t get the ball first
100% pen - Arteta would be furious if that happened to his team.
The Italian Job, #robbed
