Juan Andujar Oliver believes Liverpool were wrongly awarded a penalty for their opening goal in the Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Mohamed Salah converted from the spot after Moussa Sissoko was deemed to have handled in the area with approximately 30 seconds played.
"It's a mistake on the part of the referee," Andujar Oliver told Radio MARCA.
"The ball hits Sissoko's chest and then his arm.
"This kind of action isn't a penalty. It shouldn't have been a penalty. It's completely involuntary."

What an idiotic opinion. If the ball was blocked from going into the net by the hand of a defender involuntarily, should the referee regard the ball as being blocked by his leg just because the defender was involuntary? Everybody knows that the main point is a defender should not risk stretching his hands out. If Sissoko’s hands were down, I think this idiot’s point could be valid.
