Two prominent Champions League analysts have concluded that officials made the correct call in declining to award Arsenal a penalty during extra-time of the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Nedum Onuoha and Pat Nevin, both working as analysts for the competition, agreed that despite the controversy surrounding the incident, the decision to wave away Arsenal's appeals was justified.

The moment proved pivotal in the final, with Arsenal pushing for a decisive breakthrough in extra-time only to be denied by the officials' ruling. The decision sparked immediate debate among supporters and pundits following the match.

However, Onuoha and Nevin stood firm in their assessment, lending credibility to the match officials at one of the highest-stakes moments in club football.
