as the Barcelona player fell forward.
No-one appealed or thought it should be a penalty (and as always with Spanish teams, Barcelona were appealing for some *ludicrous* things).
Was actually - and I thought this at the time - a really good example of why not all contact in football is a foul. Even if you can take a photo out of context and make it look like it should be. And therefore why some things that *are* given as fouls - often on the basis of VAR and images taken out of context - shouldn't be.
