GWT: Champions League - League Stage

[Vasilevskiy]

A yellow gives more time now? New rules then. And a guy down "a minute" (which is surely an exageration) is worth 2 minutes of added time?

I guess I have my answer.

I was very surprised they didn't blow the whistle after Ferran torres shot that ball after the corner kick. Fitting ending to a crazy game, that in my opinion, we had no business winning.

Pedri came to play and that was pretty much it

If you want something to bitch about tho they could’ve had a penalty late in the game prior to Raphina’s goal

I was either way on that, but I also felt the same about the Yamal penalty, so that was a both-or-neither situation for me.

So let’s get this straight. You’re moaning about extra time on 1/20/2025? Seriously? Oh yeah, it’s Barca, so in this instance all credibility goes out the window.

I didn’t watch the match, but if you look at the box score there were 4 goals and 2 sets of substitutions prior to the 90 minute mark, not to mention anything after it.

May advice, stick to scouting for your fantasy teams.

Lmaoooo you’re too much. You complain about people not watching the game and commenting yet here we are. The yellow doesn’t give extra time genius I’m explain he picked up a yellow on a foul. Player received treatment deep in extra time. I didn’t have a stop watch to time how long he was in the ground for.

Go watch the game or close your mouth. No comment on the phantom penalty earlier with video evidence I have my answer.

Actually I ASKED. And the answer you provided certainly helped.

Here’s a video …. So evilo is cheesed at 9 extra seconds

Not accessible

Actually if you look at the official added time it says 4 minutes.
And the goal was scored at the 96th. Per flashscore.
So yeah stick to advising other people, my question was fair. And given some honest answers in this thread it holds more value that that crappy post of yours.

LOL, nice mate.

I don’t need to look. I can WATCH. As always, you really should try watching Barca once in a while. Had you watched, you’d have noticed that at about 3:40 of extra time a Benfica player was fouled. The subsequent free kick was taken at 4:44 of extra time. That free kick led to a… let’s say bunch of action in Barca’s box where it looked like Benfica might have a chance, IE the ref is still letting them play with the ball in Barca’s box and Benfica looking potentially likely to score. Then at 5:00 flat, 16 seconds after the free kick was taken, a “rocket” clearance is made forward well up the pitch into open space which Raphinha latches on to and then scores. Time of the goal: 5:10. But hey, according to you the ref allowing Benfica to take a free kick in Barca’s half in the 5th minute of injury time and then let play continue in Barca’s box as it looked like Benfica might score the winner at their home ground is somehow Uefalona.

So yeah, stick to your “honest” answer since you watched the match and have no bias against Barca whatsoever. Crappy post indeed.

I watched the Lille game, but can anyone who watched the Benfica/Barca game explain why there were 4 minutes of ET and Barca's goal came at the 96th? Did something happen or it's usual Fergie time for UEFAlona?

I think UEFAlona came into play on the 2nd Barca penalty.
Yamal got brushed (if that, very very lightly touched), dove, and the ref blew the whistle. VAR, for some reason, did not interfere.

Now, to be clear, for Barca this game almost didn't matter. They were gonna be in the top-8 regardless.
But it might cost Benfica a top-24 spot.

I swear calls like this (and this is not in any way exclusive to Barcelona, don't get me wrong, I go into half CL matches expecting the refs to give dubious handball or very-light-touches-calls) made me delve much more into american football the last few years.
(though tbf, I just spent the weekend watching the Chiefs benefit from several just as dubious calls lol)

Lol you just wrote that you didn't watch the game and yet you came to the defense of a game you didn't watch. While telling me I should watch to comment (which you did).

Somehow the only non biased Barca fan also finds it weird the ref didn't blow the whistle but that's OK. I wanted an honest answer I got it.

 

[maclean]

I only watched the highlights but that's all you need to see that there is absolutely nothing weird about the time at the end. It's pretty ridiculous to latch onto that if you took even a cursory glance at the actual game, especially since it was so full of actually controversial decisions.
That said, hats off to Raphinha on that final goal, ice cold finishing on that man
