Granit Xhaka has hit out at referee Michael Oliver for giving Bayern Munich a comfortable penalty in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday. The Bavarians beat Bayern Munich

3-1 in the first leg, but there was little drama at the break when Oliver awarded a second-half penalty after Harry Kane’s effort was converted by Edmond

Tapsoba who put his arm around Kane before he went down, prompting VAR to ask Oliver to look at the monitor before overturning the spot-kick.

Xhaka , who played in the Premier League for seven years, has insisted that such a foul would not have been awarded in the Premier League.

‘There are so many blocks in the Premier League that today it was nothing. It’s a bit disappointing from him to whistle such a penalty at this level and probably decide the game. โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที If you give a penalty for every block, there would be so many penalties every game.’ 

“They don’t award it in the Premier League. I was there seven years and knew Michael. I don’t think he would have awarded it in the Premier League,” the Switzerland international said.
