    It’s both a foul(there’s contact) and a dive (the effect is exaggerated).

    That makes it a judgement call.

    Those are the facts.

    Here’s my opinion: if it’s in the other box, pen. That’s how UEFA roll.

    The first angle it looks 100% like a pen but then all the other angles make you wonder how his legs could explode in the other direction like that without diving.

    There is slight contact on his left leg. The way that he exaggerated it by leaping off his right leg made it look a bit suss and probably put the ref in two minds.

    If he doesn’t make an absolute hash of the dramatical foul I think it’s given, it just so simulated because of his reaction.

    The more I‘m watching the replays the more I think it’s not a penalty at all. The last take shows almost no contact at all, and the Ukrainian jumps in a very awkward way. Sure him being theatrical shouldn’t influence if it’s a pen or not, but then I watch the 3rd replay again and it‘s less and less contact to me.

    The Ukrainian tries to force a penalty, to me, but IDK to be honest.
