Champions League Knockout Stage

The only glaring mistake he made was not giving a card to an awful tackle by a Barca player on the edge of the box (he was looking the other way for the Inter counter).
I wish most games were reffed as well.
Wasn't the case yesterday.

Well it wouldn’t have been called like this if a French team was playing this is known

Raphina didn’t score but ya he was abysmal. Pretty sure he’s carrying an injury last 2 weeks

Well kind of.

The offside rule in football is simply way too strict. A cleat was offside so the goal is no good.

Amazing the complaining about the offside. He was offside as the technology demonstrated. Anyway, while I’m not thrilled with the result and definitely take Inter for granted, all things considered I still like our chances. I’d be curious to see if Inter get that first goal if Inigo doesn’t slip. Maybe, maybe not. Then you’ve got their third goal and the deflection along with Szczeny coming out. And this match was just days after 120 minutes of a hard fought Clasico.

Lamine is just amazing. Keeps rising to the occasion. Looking to the second leg, others will need to step up. Hopefully Flick gets the selection right. Olmo should again start over Fermin and I’m not a fan of his back line tinkering. I also think he has to find a way to rest some of these guys. Every match is a final though, so easier said than done.

The tackle in question

Yamal lost 35 balls. Wow. Still easily MOTM.
Pedri had 16 forward passes out of 92.

Motm was the guy with 2 goals and 1 assist

 

[Evilo]

Yeah, according to UEFA.

All the bdo candidates there….

Chill out dude, everything is going to be okay.

Acerbi and Raphinha shouldn't be there (Saliba or Pacho on D and Thuram up front). I'd put Neves instead of Pedri as well.

Nah Pedri was stellar.

 

[Evilo]

Nah Pedri was stellar.

In this game?
Come on man. Open you eyes. Neves was miles better.

 

[ahmedou]

That's not the European football

That's American football

He was great but have at.

Objectively you're right.

But if you add subjectivity to offsides... That would be a legit nightmare.

Yup same with Kounde goal. In this case the lineman actually called it offside real time. Theres no perfect answer here

 

[Scandale du Jour]

All the bdo candidates there….

Yeah, Lewis-Skelly should win the BdO.

 

[ahmedou]

Gaps start to appear in defence for both teams with some tired legs out there and lines getting stretchered. Inter at least makes some smart changes to stop the bleeding.
