News about Benjamin Henrichs

In the second leg of their Champions League last-16 match against RB Leipzig, Alan Shearer led pundits outrage at the award of a controversial penalty for Manchester City. After the first leg last month, Pep Guardiola's side advanced to the match with a score 1-1 on aggregate. After starting brightly at the Etihad, City were given a point when VAR adjudged Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs to have dealt in the area.

According to a new video, Manchester City was denied a late penalty against RB Leipzig after the ball struck defender Benjamin Henrichs on the shoulder rather than his hand. In the dying seconds of their Champions League tie, which ended 1-1 in Leipzig, city players appealed to the referee. Henrichs had yelled the ball away with his hands in the penalty area, according to Pep Guardiola's team.

Although the hosts took the lead in Benjamin Henrichs in the 24th minute, Union Berlin drew level just after the hour mark when Janik Haberer found the net. Robin Knoche kicked the winner from time 18 minutes from time to bring his team up to within a point of Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga.
