Double Coin Toss in Champions League Final Sparks Debate

The Champions League final sparked debate over the penalty shootout protocol. Referee Daniel Siebert conducted a double coin toss, allowing PSG captain Achraf Hakimi to choose both the preferred end of the pitch and the shooting order. Since statistics favor shooting first, this gave PSG a perceived double advantage before a single kick was taken. betsport.cv

Critics suggest the rules should mirror the start of a match, where a single coin toss forces a captain to choose either the field or the kick-off, balancing the luck. Despite the controversy, the outcome remained unchanged, with Arsenal's Gabriel missing the decisive final penalty.
