The channel that I am watching showed the official CL rules at half time to clarify and that's what it said

CL rules? Huh?
Games in the CL are regulated by the IFAB rules. This is literally the rule, and it is not even close to what you said:

“A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences:
handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within their penalty area)

...

HANDLING THE BALL

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm.

The following must be considered:

the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence”

It wasn't deliberate. Also does he deserve a yellow
