A bit tiring to see the same comment over and over : intent does not matter, hitting another part of the body does not matter : read rule 12 it’s easy to find (I just did because I thought the other body part was in the rule as well : it’s not it’s just a PL thing).
I do agree it’s harsh but the first handball earlier in the 2nd half should definitely have been given so in my biased opinion, it evens out.
Last thing, if I ever want someone to take this penalty, it’s Kylian. The lad just seems unfazed while 40k people are shitting themselves in the stands.
It’s because ambiguity of the rule. It’s a foul if the body is made unnaturally bigger by hand/arm is not a consequence or justifiable by the player’s body. His body was made larger yes, but as a result of his movement as he was in natural motion.
It’s too ambiguous cause where do draw the line? Having your trailing your body is a natural movement of the body as to keep balance.
Key thing here though is that it doesn’t hit the hand. It hits the chest and deflects onto the hand.
