Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates after scoring against Paris Saint-Germain from the penalty spot in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday (14/2/2018) local time.
kernPAS.com - Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is still a conversation. Not about the cause of the penalty, but the ball that had already been moved before being executed by the superstar from Portugal.
Apparently, the incident is not the first time. earlier, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has made a similar penalty in December 2016.
Real Madrid 3-1 win over PSG in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday (14/2/2018) local time or Thursday morning GMT. Los Blancos scored by Cristiano Ronaldo (45th-minute penalty, 83 ') and Marcelo (86'), while one goal PSG scored Adrien Rabiot (33 ').
Ronaldo's first goal invited many questions because the ball was seen to move before being kicked. In reruns, it can be seen that a split second before the ball hit the foot, the ball seemed lifted up.
this makes a lot of people who call it a "ghost" penalty because the ball moves first before being kicked. but the theory has been broken by British plantation expert Peter Seabrook, who says the cause of the ball can be lifted upward is the presence of a water bag beneath the surface of the field
"If the grass is embedded in heavy enough soil, puddles must be formed under it so that when stepped on it will spray water up and lift the ball," he told BolaSport.com from The Sun.
"Some of the pitches owned by the English Premier League clubs have now been renovated so there can be no puddles under the grass, I do not know what if in Spain," he added.
Apparently, Ronaldo is not the first to do that. kane never made a similar penalty Ronaldo on December 28, 2016 when the game Southampton vs Tottenham, as quoted from Give Me Sport .
Kane looks incredulous after kicking the ball. Lucky in that game, Kane et al have locked a 4-1 victory and will not be disappointed about the failure of the penalty .
