Sadio Mané stayed on the pitch while several of his teammates walked off in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded against them — a decision that ultimately led to Brahim Díaz missing from the spot.

The Senegal star later criticized the lengthy stoppage caused by the incident.

“I think it’s really bad. Football should not stop for 10 minutes,” Mané said.

Mané’s reaction has sparked fresh debate about player walk-offs, officiating decisions, and how long matches should be halted during protests over refereeing calls.
