Possible Penalty In Inter Milan 2-2 Bayern Munich Champions League Clash – No Issue With Harry Kane Goal | OneFootball

Amidst the drama, there was a possible penalty not given in yesterday’s Champions League draw between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.

Today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, argue a coming-together between Leon Goretzka and Marcus Thuram could’ve been a spot kick. Meanwhile, they also argue there were no issues with Harry Kane’s goal.

In the end, Inter Milan went through to the Champions League semifinals against Bayern. A 2-2 draw was enough.

All of the goals came in an absolute barn burner of a second half.

The first half at the San Siro, by contrast, was sleepier and a lot more cagey.

There was, however, one notable incident that could’ve gone differently had referee Slavko Vincic had a clearer view of it.

Inter Milan did not manage to venture forward all that often in the first half yesterday.

However, in one of the best moves that the Nerazzurri had all half, captain Lautaro Martinez slithered his way past a couple challenges in midfield to start one of the team’s trademark counterattacks.

Inter got numbers forward into the penalty area. Including Marcus Thuram.

Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka followed Thuram into the penalty area. And there was contact between the two players.

So much so that Thuram went down in pain, and could not get back up despite the fact Inter still had possession of the ball in a dangerous area. The Nerazzurri put the ball out of play so he could receive treatment.

In the view of the Gazzetta, a closer look at Goretzka’s challenge revealed it was very sloppy indeed.

On another night, the referee could have seen it as a foul inside the area.

But that was not Vincic’s view. And the VAR did not challenge him.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta note, there were no issues with Harry Kane’s opening goal for Bayern.

The Inter players had protested for a potential foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the buildup. But there was little in it, in truth.
