GWT: Champions League - League Stage

[luiginb]

I never thought I'd say that but I'd sub out Raphinha for Ferran for the latter's effort level, which is more necessary in a game like this one.

Atleti are just unpleasantly whinny. If they didn’t try to work the refs so much, they’d be a lot more likable.

I see that Brest are playing their home match at Guingamp stadium, must be for capacity reasons, I assume.

Soft pen

Raya with a huge double save.

Double Save David at it again

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Must be nice to have a world class keeper....

 

[Incubajerks]

Second save was something else.

 

[bluesfan94]

David Raya might be the best goalkeeper in the world right now.

 

[gary69]

Raphinha has been just a bit too late on several occasions tonight, not sure if it is too slow anticipation or just not enough speed.

Barca still pressing quite aggressively high up on the pitch despite being a man short.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ter Stegan ffs

Disaster class from MATS

 

[Brunkmeister]

Painful to watch Martinelli nowadays…

Well he wasn't subbed off and is responsible for Monaco's goal + it's the worst game I've seen of his in a Barcelona shirt

Did you see the wonderful punch that almost went into his net?
Wow.

He's snakebitten. Just needs one to go in, he's creating the chances. A lot like Kai at the start of last season, if we're being honest.

Everything near him today was an adventure. He got lucky to escape with only 2 goals on him given his own self inflict mistakes

Something like that. Was hoping last season was just a downyear, but if he doesn’t get one soon maybe 22/23 was the season for him. Hopefully he can hit a couple against Bolton.

 

[Evilo]

Not a fan of that pen call.
50/50.

VAR agrees that’s not a pen

 

[luiginb]

Is Arsenal playing for a 0-0 draw at Atalanta? The mightiest?

This game is putting me to sleep

Second save was something else.

It helps Retegui is shit

Which is just as weird since you can't call it a ref error either.
Anyway play on.

Clear and obvious never made sense in how they applied it. I’ve seen a lot worse calls where they argue it wasn’t clear and obvious enough. Lol

 

[S E P H]

Oh look, Osimhen was available and we can't score again...

Arsenal's away record in the CL has been shambolic.
