Marcos Rojo's headed clearance deflected onto his arm, and though he could do little about it and a penalty would have been harsh, Mikel is adamant that the Turkish referee should have blown up.
"I don't understand how that wasn't a penalty," the captain said.
"For me, it was a clear handball. If you look at the game yesterday, Portugal, that wasn't even close to this. This was even worse - very open. He headed the ball and it hit his hand.
"Maybe the referee has given the first penalty, he doesn't want to give the second one. But a penalty is a penalty. If it's a penalty, you can still give a penalty.
"We've seen it again in the dressing room, it was a clear penalty. There wasn't any way the referee could not give that.
"He looked at the VAR. I asked him, "Did it hit the hand?' He said 'Yes". But why it's not a penalty...he said he doesn't know."
