Kasper Schmeichel didn’t mince words when discussing the controversial decision that denied Celtic a penalty in their 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich. The VAR check seemed to confirm a foul in the box, but the referee ultimately decided against it, much to the disbelief of everyone in Celtic Park.In an interview with his father, Peter Schmeichel, for CBS Sports, Kasper expressed his frustration with the inconsistency in officiating.”I don’t understand the rules anymore. What constitutes a penalty and what doesn’t? It seems to change from game to game,” Schmeichel said.After watching the replay, Schmeichel was even more convinced that it was a clear penalty.”Seeing that again, it’s undeniable. That was definitely a penalty. If that had happened at the other end, there’s no question it would have been given.”The decision not to award the penalty could have had a major impact on the outcome of the game. Despite Celtic pulling one back through Daizen Maeda, the missed opportunity loomed large.With the second leg taking place at the Allianz Arena, Celtic faces an uphill battle to overturn the deficit. It’s a daunting task, but the players will approach the match with determination and give it their all.
