Nations League: Nagelsmann fumes over controversial penalty: "Madness"

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann was furious after his team was denied a clear penalty in their Nations League match against Hungary on Saturday.

The incident occurred in the second half of the match, with Bayern leading 1-0. Robert Lewandowski was brought down in the penalty area by Hungarian defender Willi Orban, but the referee waved play on.

Nagelsmann was incensed by the decision and confronted the referee after the match. He called the decision "madness" and said that it had cost his team the match. "It was a clear penalty," Nagelsmann said. "I don't understand how the referee could not give it."

The decision has sparked a debate about the use of video assistant referees (VAR) in football. Some believe that VAR should be used to overturn clear and obvious errors, while others believe that it should only be used in exceptional circumstances.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body responsible for the laws of the game, is currently reviewing the use of VAR. A decision on whether to make VAR mandatory in all competitions is expected to be made later this year.

In the meantime, the controversy surrounding the use of VAR is likely to continue. The incident in the Nations League match between Bayern Munich and Hungary is just one example of how VAR can have a major impact on the outcome of a game.
