'The penalty was a joke!' - Nagelsmann accuses Di Maria of diving in RB Leipzig defeat at PSG

RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann has slammed the decision that led to PSG's penalty in his side's 1-0 defeat, saying it was a "joke" while also accusing Angel Di Maria of diving.

PSG were awarded an early penalty in Tuesday's Champions League clash after a VAR review, with Marcel Sabitzer deemed to have fouled Di Maria just inside the penalty area.

Neymar stepped up and converted from the spot after 11 minutes and that goal would hold up, as the Ligue 1 champions earned a 1-0 win over Leipzig.
