Champions League Knockout Stage

[Wee Baby Seamus]

LOL to take that long only for the waving off to be because of offside is astonishingly funny and incompetent

Who's this ballsy VAR ref?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Didn’t even look offside.

 

[Evilo]

Refs never have the balls to go against the video assistant.

5 minutes for this is a ridiculous check.

This is not about the balls.
A ref being corrected by VAR is losing points to their judging body.
A VAR ref making a bad VAR call is the same.

Who's this ballsy VAR ref?

Ballsy? It was rather obvious. The offside + it was a flop. He could have overturned it for two reasons.

We got SEPH in the VAR van today calling the shots

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It took 17 mins to see what everyone saw in 17 seconds

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Didn’t even look offside.

Was Rice the last man? It looked to me like he was, and Mbappe was further forward at a glance when the flick-on occurred. I, however, did not spend 7 minutes studying it like the VAR did.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Funniest outcome would've been if Rice's yellow had stayed regardless

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Alaba really lucky not to get a second yellow.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

35 mins into the match Jesus

 

[KJS14]

How do you not get a yellow for throwing your opponent to the ground?

[cgf]

Maybe take Kane off for Pavlovic? Müller...who's more likely to score anyway...to the false-9, let LeGo push up aggressively and give Kimmich more cover to move forward as well.

Otherwise take Dier off and either push Kimmich to RB, with Laimer moving to the left & Stanisic inside, or move Leon to CB, so Sasha can partner either of them behind the front 4.

 

[I am not exposed]

Is Ødegaard scared of shooting the ball?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Madrid doesn’t look threatening. A lot of crosses but it’s not carvahal or kroos crossing to Ronaldo and Ramos. Carlos needs another idea

 

[luiginb]

Pavard - Acerbi - Bastoni is the best backline in football

 

[KJS14]

Vasquez is a clown. That's like his 3rd flop already

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Legendary flop by Lucas vazquez

Someone should tell the boys it's not La Liga and Marciniak isn't reffing either

It is the same BS we saw all season long. It would have been very surprising if they adjusted. Our midfield is really meh despite the talent. Really missing Kroos.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Dumbass Rodrygo

It’s tactical, because the midfield shouldn’t be meh but it’s just insanely disjointed. Carlo doesn’t know what to do with a new midfield.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The midfield just lacks creativity

Is Ødegaard scared of shooting the ball?

Yes, since coming back from his ankle injury. I think it's mental and I think a full offseason will repair it.
