For a tie that leaves everything in the balance, and a result that mostly seemed fair from the flow of the game, Thomas Tuchel was anything but calm.
He was furious, specifically with referee Glenn Nyberg. That was over the explanation for a decision in the 66th minute, when Gabriel picked the ball up in the area after it seemed like David Raya had taken a goal-kick. The nature of modern kick-outs probably made something like this inevitable at some point, but it’s still incredible to actually see it. The incident has naturally created a lot of talk about the interpretation about when the goal-kick was actually taken, but that is irrelevant if you go by the explanation that Tuchel claimed Nyberg gave to them.
