In the first round of the Champions League stage last night, Bayern defeated Chelsea 3-1 at home. Bayern defender Jonathan Tat's foul against Blues forward Joao Pedro in the game caused controversy, and Barack believed that even a red card was possible. Bayern sports director Floind emphasized after the game that Jonathan Tat did not intend.

Before Chelsea rewrites the score to 2-1 in the 28th minute of the game, Jonathan Ta had a confrontation with Joao Pedro near the center circle: the latter was preparing to sprint in the offensive and defensive transition and obviously pulled Tower's jersey, which Tower did not intend to give in. The screen of the broadcaster DAZN shows that the tower's right arm swings towards the opponent's upper body, while the latter falls back to the ground and remains lying, while the tower tries to return to the game again. Chelsea's Palmer scored a goal a few seconds later, and Ta was shown a yellow card after the ball entered.

It was not clear at first whether VAR carefully reviewed the scene again, and during the DAZN broadcast, the confrontation could only be seen from a panoramic shot. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the tower's movement was intentional and which part of the opponent he hit was at the beginning.

Barak, who is a television commentator, said on DAZN: "He pulled the opponent's jersey and then gently hit his chest. He was lucky that this could happen. He had to be careful."

Bayern sports director Freind had a different view on the scene: "In a running confrontation, he turned around and met the opponent. I don't think there was any intentional component behind it."

Freind said he had already talked to Ta: "He hit his chest. Because he was too fast and both were sprinting, it looked serious. This situation would happen, but it was not a malicious foul."

Meanwhile, Chelsea coach Maresca protested strongly on the sidelines. The microphone on the court captured a few words from him, and DAZN commentator Young Pratt translated it as: "I can't accept it, I can't accept it." The coach received a yellow card for this.

After the final whistle, Maresca further said: "Play another player (Editor's note: he probably means playing with his hands), why isn't this a red card? Do they have to see bleeding before they can get a red card?"

And on the other side, Bayern coach Kompani responded: "What I want is a foul in the opposite direction. I thought the tower was fouled... but I may be biased. I think his jersey was pulled, he just wanted to break free. He was turned around and just tried to throw away the opponent."

On the court, several Chelsea players complained to the referee about the tower's movements. Tower was replaced during the break, and Kim Min-jae was replaced.
