Of course, Stambouli would never know what Higo meant at that moment. No, even if he knew, the man wouldn't be able to react, especially since the time between the shout and Jude Bellingham taking action was just two seconds, not enough for the man to process everything first.
In the end, though, what everyone feared finally happened.
Once Bellingham managed to enter the penalty box, he whacked the ball as hard as he could, and as a result…
BAM!
The ball hit Stambouli quite hard, and in the next second…
FWEEE!
The whistle from the referee followed instantly, making all the heads snap at him. In the next second, the man pointed at the white spot inside the penalty box, announcing his decision.
"Handball from Schalke's number 2, Benjamin Stambouli! On-site decision! A penalty kick for Borussia Dortmund!"
