Some football fans and Arsenal fans have clashed on social media over Arsenal's disallowed penalty against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.

Referee Glenn Nyberg waved off a last-minute penalty for Arsenal after Bukayo Saka got tripped by Manuel Neuer in the box.

Many neutrals believe Saka ran into the goalkeeper, forcing the contact, and thus the Swedish referee made the right call.

However, Arsenal fans argue that Neuer had his leg out and intentionally tripped Saka in the situation, hence, a penalty should have been given.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand sided with the Arsenal fans, stating that the Gunners should have been awarded the penalty.

“How has that not been given? I can't believe that it has not been given with VAR," he told TNT Sports.

“Saka was the most dangerous player for Arsenal; he's running through there - that is a penalty. I'm in the stadium, I can't believe it, I'm walking around in disbelief and I've got my arms on top of my head!" he added.

Arsenal settled for a two-all draw against Bayern at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the tie.

The second leg is set for Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at the Allianz Arena.

Saka should have just taken a chance at scoring cus attempting to dribble Neuer was definitely bound to fail https://t.co/RhRqqT0Zkh

The Saka last minute thingy a bit embarrassing. He clearly propelled himself into Neuer. Defo not a penalty.

Neuer’s leg also moved towards Saka’s. Watch carefully. https://t.co/kKENNTyPe2

Neuer made an attempt for the ball, missed, and then obstructed Saka’s path. If this happened to Salah and he didn’t get the penalty i would be livid. It’s quite similar to the pen we got against City. https://t.co/mRqhVMnMwY

Saka doesn't yet know how to properly sell the foul, despite lots of contact against him. Another marginal aspect of the game for him to study and work on.

If it was Harry Kane here... an absolute master of the art wins the sale.pic.twitter.com/lkDQDB4SBf
