What happened: Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany openly questioned the officiating after his side's Champions League exit to PSG, asking why a handball above the head was not deemed a red card. He also pointed to the inconsistency of Bayern conceding a penalty in the Paris leg but not receiving one in the return fixture. Kompany acknowledged the rules but said the decisive moment 'tilted to the wrong side' for his team.
Why it matters: The complaint lands as Bayern processes a semifinal exit that ends their European campaign and shifts focus to domestic priorities. Public criticism of officiating from a manager of Kompany's profile typically draws UEFA scrutiny and can shape narratives heading into next season. It also extends a multi-day storyline in which Kompany has repeatedly flagged refereeing as a factor in Bayern's UCL ouster.
What to watch: Watch for any UEFA disciplinary response to Kompany's comments and whether Bayern's hierarchy backs the manager publicly. Reaction from PSG and the match officials' camp is also worth tracking.
