Arsenal's Bukayo Saka chased referee Glenn Nyberg off the pitch after being denied a last-gasp penalty in Arsenal's dramatic 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich clashed in the first leg of the quarter-final, delivering an intense match with both teams displaying formidable performances. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard managed to find the net for Arsenal, while Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane secured goals for Thomas Tuchel's side.
In the final minutes of the match, controversy erupted when Arsenal was denied what seemed to be a clear penalty opportunity. With the score tied, and the game heading into injury time, Saka was played through and appeared to have a clear chance on goal. However, as he advanced, he collided with Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer after nudging the ball forward. Saka fell to the ground, prompting demands from Arsenal players and fans for a penalty to be awarded.
Despite the protests, referee Glenn Nyberg waved away the claims and swiftly blew the full-time whistle, leaving Arsenal frustrated and disappointed by the decision. The contentious call not only affected the outcome of the match but also sparked heated reactions from both players and supporters alike. As a result, Saka's pursuit of the referee down the tunnel symbolized the intense emotions and sense of injustice felt by Arsenal in the aftermath of the match.
