Barcelona lost to Juventus 3-0.
Ronald Koeman claims that Juve were lucky not to concede a penalty foul when Weston McKennie attacked Leo Messi.
However, he admits that this should not be an excuse for Barca who were poor.
“If they whistle for the first penalty, they must whistle for what they [Juventus] did to Messi,” Ronald Koeman said after the game.
“But it’s no excuse, we didn’t do well in the first half,” the Dutchman added.
Let’s take a look at what actually happened in the box when there was a potential penalty check by VAR.

This doesn’t seem like a pen but given that Cristiano’s first was way too controversial, why not?
