“The penalty for an Araujo’s foul on CR7 is at least generous. The contact is a shoulder barge,” it’s the analysis of La Gazzetta dello Sport’s ref review.
As per Il Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport the call is legitimate as Araujo “put both his arms on CR7’s chest and his left knee touches Ronaldo’s right leg.”
Italian Sports paper all agree that Barcelona centre-back Clement Lenglet should have been sent off in the second half for a handball that was spotted by VAR and that would be worthy of a second yellow card for the French defender.
The performance of referee was below par, as Tobias Stieler is rated 4.5 by La Gazzetta dello Sport, 5,5 by Il Corriere dello Sport and 5 by Tuttosport.
