UEFA release statement on why Real Madrid penalty was rescinded

  /  autty

Declan Rice escaped a controversial yellow card as Real Madrid saw a penalty chalked off following a five-minute VAR check.

Uefa then confirmed the call with a brief statement.

They said: "The penalty for Real Madrid has been taken away due to a non-foul by Declan Rice."

That proved a major reprieve for Rice, who went into the clash in Madrid knowing a yellow card would see him suspended for the first leg against PSG should Arsenal progress
