The Champions League trophy once again resides at Anfield. On Saturday in the Champions League final, the Reds beat Tottenham 2-0 to lift the trophy for the sixth time, since 2005.
Mohamed Salah scored the winner just two minutes thanks to
a controversial penalty kick, while Divock Origi replaced Roberto Firmino in the second half and scored in the dying minutes to put it away.
It took just 23 seconds for this one to get heated thanks to a handball from Moussa Sissoko, who saw the ball hit him near the armpit before touching his hand. The referee called the penalty kick.
It doesn’t get much more controversial than that in the early going, as any penalty would be. Yes, it hits his hand, but that is after it hits the core of his body. I don’t think that is a handball, as it didn’t hit his hand first and was far from intentional or him trying to make himself bigger. The Reds took advantage, and the rest is history, but it feels harsh.
