That was all it took for Lyon to essentially put themselves in the Champions League quarter-final at the expense of Juventus.

Already leading 1-0 from the first leg, they were awarded a penalty early on when Rodrigo Bentancur was adjudged to have committed a foul.

The only problem was that he didn’t commit a foul. Far from it – as he poked the ball away from trouble with a perfectly-timed slide.

There were also suggestions that it could have been given against Federico Bernardeschi for a ‘trip’ prior to that – which also would never have been a foul.

Incredibly, VAR checked the decision and still saw fit to award the kick. And everyone knew it …

Penalty for Lyon. Bentancur slides in, bit harsh and now there’s a check going on.

The worst penalty call I have ever seen.

Bentancur got all ball. There's no disputing that. That's not a PK.

Wow never a penalty against Juve. Trash call

6 - Memphis Depay is the second Dutch player to score in six consecutive Champions League games, after Ruud van Nistelrooy. Greatness.

Games done, never a penalty. Slide tackles should be made extinct if that’s a penalty in football now. Joke decision #JuveOL

Bit of a running joke in France that Lyon get more penalties than they should. Memphis Depay scoring a panenka, after a slightly dubious penalty decision, while Lyon are wearing a kit that makes them all look like referees is therefore pretty solidly on point.

The referee and those in the VAR booth should never referee another game. Their careers should be over NOW That is the most disgraceful penalty decision in history - and they actually watched that on video and stuck with it #JUVLYO

It is a decision which may cost Maurizio Sarri his job.
