A Lille player touches the ball with his hands in the area, but for referee Guida it’s the opposite. The Italian whistle decrees a penalty kick for Atletico Madrid. Sensational error, confirmed by VAR, and Lille won 3-1 in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid.

Referee Guida’s error was confirmed by the decision of VAR Pairetto. And Simeon was furious: “There is no handball, there is nothing, brutal mistake by the referee, there is no handball, there is nothing, brutal mistake by the referee”.
