Alan Shearer reveals what UEFA told him after PSG incident

Alan Shearer has revealed what UEFA told him on Wednesday morning after he got in touch to seek clarity over PSG's 98th-minute penalty on Tuesday night.

He admits that they were "as angry as we were" with the decision to award a penalty, confessing that the VAR official and on-field referee made a "huge error" to penalise Tino Livramento after the ball rebounded off his chest and onto his knee.

UEFA told Shearer that VAR "knew straight away after the game" that they'd got it wrong, hence why the VAR involved and referee have been stripped of their Champions League duties for the next two weeks.

Speaking on the The Rest is Football podcast alongside Gary Lineker and Micah Richards:

“I spoke to them (UEFA) this morning and to be fair to them, they were as angry as we were. They were as disappointed as what we were in the decision and they said that the referee and the VAR knew straight away after the game that they had made a huge error and they would no longer be involved in the games this evening [Wednesday]. In the next round of games which are in two weeks’ time, they will be off those games as well. But they won’t be commenting and it was okay for me to say that.”

Gary Lineker then added: “I can’t work out quite how anyone could see how that was a penalty, it quite clearly came off his leg first and flicked his elbow.

“It was almost because it was right at the end of the game, they had been getting a lot of stick from the supporters in Paris and whether they were influenced in that I don’t know."
