The BVB loses the start of the new Champions League season at Paris Saint-Germain 0-2.
And club advisor Matthias Sammer is talking himself into a rage!
Before a historic real duel This is how Union Bellingham wants to stop
Amazon’s TV expert complains: “I am glad that artificial intelligence will soon be available. The way the referee … stumbled, strutted across the pitch, that’s no longer any fun! It is clear that PSG was better than Dortmund.”
It’s all about this: The controversial hand penalty awarded to PSG. Mbappé shot at Süle’s arm from very close range (47th). Referee Gil Manzano immediately calls for a penalty.
Before Sammer goes any further, he asks: “Can I actually be banned?”
He can’t, says moderator Sebastian Hellmann. At most, the Amazon boss could block him, he jokes.
With certainty, the frustrated Sammer continues.
Sammer on penalty: “Total wrong decision!”
He is particularly bothered by the behavior of referee observer Robert Rosetti. “We see that from UEFA sometimes. I don’t know if it’s here today. When he struts around the stadium, the young people think: Strutting is right. I’ve always thought that the referee has to have a certain authority and naturalness on the pitch. I just don’t like this arrogance, this dismissiveness.”
But Sammer is still not finished: “That was a decisive scene in the game. This is a total wrong decision! Not a can or maybe, but a total wrong decision!”
BILD referee Thorsten Kinhöfer (55) explains: “The interpretation corresponds to UEFA’s specifications. That’s why the referee did everything right. But in terms of football, I think this interpretation is wrong.”
Referee observer Rosetti was not in the stands in Paris, but at Leipzig’s victory at Young Boys Bern.
When Sammer hears this, he jokes: “He checked how high the artificial turf grows in Bern.”
Artificial turf has been laid in the Wankdorf stadium in the Swiss capital. A tip that a frustrated Sammer simply couldn’t pass up.
