AliousRoy Keane once again entertained his fellow pundits and viewers with a trademark quip following a discussion about a denied penalty claim for Cristiano Ronaldo during Wednesday night’s match.
Ronaldo endured a disappointing evening as Portugal fell 2-0 to Georgia.
His frustration was compounded when he was refused what he believed to be a clear penalty.
While attempting to control a cross, Ronaldo appeared to be pulled down by Luka Lochoshvili.
However, Ukrainian referee Mykola Balakin allowed play to continue, and VAR supported this decision.
Despite a visible shirt pull, Ronaldo received a booking for his protests.
During ITV’s halftime analysis, the network’s refereeing expert, Christina Unkel, offered her perspective on the incident.
She attempted to explain that the Georgian player hadn’t “impacted” Ronaldo.
Keane seemed poised for one of his characteristic outbursts, exclaiming, “Of course he’s impacted, he’s pulling on his jersey!”
However, when Postecoglou praised Unkel’s explanation as “great,” Keane’s tone shifted unexpectedly. He began to laugh and agreed it was a “very good explanation,” causing the entire studio to erupt in laughter.
This lighthearted moment showcased Keane’s ability to surprise viewers with his humor, even when discussing contentious football decisions.
