Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford can't believe Barcelona were not penalised for a foul after Jules Kounde appeared to bring him down in a controversial incident at Camp Nou.
United were leading 2-1 when Rashford looked to have a golden opportunity to extend that advantage just after the hour mark on Thursday night, but he was brought down to the floor after an intervention from Kounde.
The referee Maurizio Mariani deemed the challenge not to be a foul and Erik ten Hag was incensed on the touchline. The Dutchman vented his frustration about the incident to the assistant but his pleading saw him receive a yellow card.

Although replays subsequently showed the foul was not inside the penalty area, the general consensus was a free-kick should have been awarded, which would have meant a potential red card for Kounde, who denied a goalscoring opportunity.
After the 2-2 draw, Rashford was asked about the incident and he admitted he couldn't believe it wasn't given as a foul.
"It's a massive moment in the game," Rashford told BT Sport. "To be honest, I've not watched it back, but in the moment, I don't understand why the linesman or the referee thinks why I'm going down there.
"I've touched it, went past him, my foot is in front of the ball and he hits my leg. It's clear contact.
"It's not a penalty but it's 100% a foul for me, but like I've said, I've not watched it back."
