Arsenal – PSGthe Champions League final, takes place on May 30, in Budapest.

Kompany believes Nuno Mendes should have been sent off in the first half. He fouled and would have received a second yellow, but the referee turned the tide for another foul by Laimer before the ball reached the PSG left-back.

Konpany said it found no footage showing Laimer committing fraud. The Belgian then linked up with the most controversial phase of the match. In the 31st minute, Joao Neves was hit by the ball in his hand from Vitinha's clearance. The referee did not give a penalty, considering that Neves had no intention.

Vincent Kompany: “These refereeing decisions changed the fate of the match”

“We were able to block them, they didn't execute their plan. We were 1v1 with the opponent. We couldn't get the ball behind them, when we had to pass or shoot we didn't do what we needed to do. PSG defended well in many moments. If we had won, it would have been said that PSG didn't do what they usually do. We are upset, but we respect PSG.

You have to take responsibility. I had a totally different opinion on that penalty. And a week ago the same thing happened. And it was red at Mendes. The refs think Laimer touched the ball with his hand, but I couldn't find any footage to show that.

In the end, we are talking about two very good teams. If you saw a much better team today, we see football differently. These refereeing decisions changed the fate of the match.

Bayern have won the trophy 6 times and the competition has been around for over 60 years. With the exception of Real Madrid, the competition is won once every 10 years. I don't want to put extra pressure on myself. We are talking about the details”, said Vincent Kompany, during the flash interview.
