but what I don't understand is why the ref labeled the Gabriel handball in the box a "kid mistake". WTF is a kid mistake in an adult game.
Yup, I cannot understand this at all. Why would he even take the ball in his hand even if he could? You're a footballer, use your legs.
It s so incredibly stupid, a totally unnecessary risk to take. If the penalty was awarded (and it should have been), it would have been one of the dumbest mistakes in CL's history.
Still remeber when I was playing some local 5 aside football tournament on a turf near the sea. Someone passed me a long ball meter over my head on a touchline and I caught it with my hands so that it doesn't end in the sea. Got yellow card and 2 minutes for that and I was actually helping opposing team
