Are you sure? That’s not the way the discussions were going post ET
You had made me doubt myself, but yeah - here's the relevant part of the Law of the Game:
IFAB said:With the exception of a substitute for an injured goalkeeper, only players
who are on the field of play or are temporarily off the field of play (injury,
adjusting equipment etc.) at the end of the match are eligible to take kicks
I think from what I heard the commentators saying, was that Arrizabalaga should have come off when he was ordered to earlier on, rather than after the whistle had blown.
There's nothing in the rules to say the manager has precedent over the players. If there's mutiny, the team has to sort it out themselves. Or the ref abandons the game, which is obviously unlikely to happen.
