Marseille fans joked that Militon had no handball in the penalty area: It is normal for Real Madrid to "play basketball" in the penalty area

After his UEFA Champions League debut with a 1-2 loss to Real Madrid away, French media RMC said that in addition to Medina's handball controversial penalty, Militon's failure to handball in the penalty area also made Marseille fans angry.

Marseille held on for a long time in the Champions League match against Real Madrid and eventually lost due to a controversial penalty. Medina was called for a handball in the penalty area in the 80th minute, and even the Spanish media admitted that the penalty was worth discussing.

However, the day after the Bernabeu Stadium was a slump, another game scene sparked widespread discussion. In the first half, when Condobia shot outside the penalty area, Militon blocked the ball with his arm to his teammate Heisen, who also touched the ball with his hand.

At that time, the Marseille player raised his hand to signal the referee to request a penalty kick, but the referee signaled that he would not call. The video sparked heated discussion on social media, with Marseille fans condemning the injustice.

Marseille die-hard fan Vicenzo Tomasi said angrily on the X platform: "It is normal for them to play basketball in the penalty area." Another fan sarcastically said: "One hand and one hand equals zero hand." Another fan said helplessly: "The penalty should be judged, but because the opponent is Real Madrid, there is no punishment, which is normal."

However, some people think that Militon's arm is tightly attached to the body, while Heysen's hand is in a natural position: "Everyone has different views on this action. First of all, his The arm was tightly snug, and he placed his hands in front of him to avoid handball and reduce contact area. "

Although the Marseille club senior management and coaching staff did not give specific comments on the matter, coach Dezelby called the second penalty "shameful" in an interview with CBS Sports: "You know Real Madrid, they have made a lot of noise around the referee before the game."

Despite a frustrating night at the Bernabeu Stadium, Marseille began their Champions League journey with a bitter defeat. However, the loss may also bring confidence to Dezelby's side, as they are not inferior to their home performance at the most successful club in Europe.
