Chelsea
Man City

Having studied law as a subject, consider my opinion on the match and the concept of justice and equity within football in the context of khusanov’s penalty shouts. (Obviously, great goal by Semenyo) Now, shoulder pushes are normally not considered fouls unless they alter the natural path of the player or is followed by more (harsh) contact. Both of khusanov’s tackles fit this proviso. Now, say what you want about the game being physical and contact being encouraged, but as many people will point out, that would’ve been called as a foul at any other part of the pitch. Indeed, a yellow card was shown to Enzo quite harshly for what was a similarly harsh but ‘successful’ challenge. Establishing this and the fact that it’s not stonewall and a debate, what I want to say is that this result in the end is *fair* based on the overall play of the two teams. See Bayern v PSG semi-final; contentious decision but PSG locked down Bayern. City undeniably controlled this game. Feel free to engage.
