More than two years after the Budapest final between Roma and Sevilla, Nemanja Matic hasn’t forgotten and isn’t at peace.

Through his Twitter profile, the former Roma midfielder, now at Lyon, has returned to discuss one of the key incidents of that evening: Fernando’s handball in the penalty area and the penalty denied by referee Anthony Taylor.

“Two years later, I need an answer: was it a penalty?” Matic wrote, attaching a video of the incident.

On that occasion, it was precisely from the Serbian player’s cross that the Andalusian midfielder touched the ball with his arm.
