Bayern/PSG – “I’ve never experienced that before”, Laimer furious! | OneFootball

This Wednesday, in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (final on May 30 against Arsenal), Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Konrad Laimer, the 28-year-old full-back for the German side, stopped in the mixed zone after Paris qualified with a 1-1 draw (5-6 on aggregate, Bayern/PSG highlights).

Laimer: “It’s really strange.”

The refereeing, with the handball given against you rather than Mendes?

You don’t really feel it during the match itself. I thought I had played the ball with my stomach, and then Mendes with his hand. The referee gave a handball against me five seconds later. It’s really strange. Things could have gone much better for us today, including the other handball (Neves).

Laimer: “It would have been a decisive moment if PSG had lost a player that early.”

The handball on you was reported by the fourth official.

Since when does the fourth official intervene in the match? I’ve never experienced that before. But it’s not my business, and I can’t change anything about it now anyway. It would have been a decisive moment if PSG had lost a player that early.

In matches like these, everything comes down to a few small details. I always felt we could turn the situation around. But today, it wasn’t enough. It’s really hard.”
