Ex-Socceroos captain Craig Foster has slammed Glenn Nyberg’s refereeing as a “farce” as debate continues to rage over a Champions League “kids mistake.”
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel was incensed after Wednesday’s (AEST) 2-2 quarter-final first leg draw with Arsenal after Nyberg waved off penalty claims from the visitors in the second half in London.
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya played a short goal kick to defender Gabriel, who inexplicably picked the ball up and retook the goal kick.

Foster agreed with Tuchel’s rage, apart from saying Gabriel’s error was so egregious that not even a child would make it.
“It’s ridiculous. Gabriel’s made a huge mistake here,” Foster said on Stan Sport.
