The handball law has been muddied with different interpretations across competitions, but this is a penalty in all of them.
'Emmanuel Fernandez might have gotten away with one again!' ๐๏ธ Should Dundee United have been awarded a penalty here? ๐ค #BBCFootball

One nice anecdote from this interview was Ben Chilwell was reeling off facts about Strasbourg before we went into football, including that the Cathedral was the tallest building in the world until 1874. I thought it nicely sums up how much he has bought into the club.

Bear in mind, too, that there are basically no category 4 tickets available. Here's the ticket map for Kansas City. Category 4 tickets locations are in dark green.
