Gareth Bale thought he'd got a goal back moments later with a sweet volley over former Madrid teammate Keylor Navas. But referee Anthony Taylor spotted on video replay that the Wales winger had touched the ball with his right arm as he juggled it from his left foot to his right one before shooting. (Photo | AP)
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel had no problem singling out Gueye for praise. He clicked with Marco Verratti and the deeper-lying Marquinhos in the PSG midfield that purred as if they'd played together for years. (Photo | AP)
Zidane lamented the lack of urgency from his side that had zero shots on target other than Bale's disallowed goal and another disallowed for offside in the second half. (Photo | AP)
