Isn’t he in talks to sign for PSG? If he’s failing he’s doing it upwards.

I’ve accepted France are shite and I’m enjoying Yamal, Rodri and Dani Olmo.

You have to feel for Digne, classic rabbit in headlights at the mo.

I'm leaning to the opinion though that not all fouls in the box should lead to such huge rewards like a penalty when it's not a goal scoring chance. If that was a free kick, I think that'd be more proportional to the situation.
This is it, isn't it.

When the reward promotes cheating, simulating, or at the very least promotes actions against the spirit and the object of the game...

Without the penalty call, the xG of Yamal scoring there, or even having posession of the ball was zero. Why reward that with a goal.

It’s a modern day penalty that, like many established things in modern football, has just sucked all the fun and spontaneity and free flow of what “old” football used to offer.
