come back to us when youve actually watched the game and have an understanding of the incidents rather than what youve read. "whats flagged", according to "flagging" VAR has only made 5 or 6 errors in the premier league this season lol
I'll go with Howard Webb's unbiased review thanks!

theyre just too good, stunning performance against a very very good side

is this finally the year

City hitting their straps at just the right time of the season. This is a breathtaking performance.

If I was Dean Smith at Leicester I think I might be asking for my contract to be cancelled here and now. If City play half as well as this they will batter Leicester this weekend.

Amazed to hear City fans booing Cancelo, short memories or something else gone on there?

Apparently he was running his mouth about City.

On the game, at times it was so tight and frantic that it reminded me of some Sunday League games, ones where you don’t get a second on the ball and it gets a bit chaotic.

Then Bayern’s defence, well Upamecano, went to pieces.

I think the bit re Cancelo. He wanted to play more. He was never the same at City after he got burgled/ assaulted and stated he wanted to play more. Upset a few opening his mouth. At times He really was quality, but ended up going a bit TAA re defending. Me I wish him the best.
Re City, they really have turned it around. Here’s hoping.

Both statements above are wrong! VAR IS the technology! It's 'THE' VAR that's the guy that makes the decision - and gets stood down for a period when they blunder!
I think you need to read the IFAB explanation of VAR.


You will only need to read the 1st 3or 4 paragraph, it explains it very well to the layman.

The Real Madrid CL machine keeps just churning along , it got a little ragged towards the end and Benzema missing a golden chance to make it 3 but then Mount being denied


Real will have too much in the next leg

I didnt think it was a bad penalty, 6" to the right its a perfect one. Fine margins.

Spare a thought for poor old Brighton and how VAR blatantly stole 3pts off them.

A good penalty isn't saved even if the keeper goes the right way, and Salah was asking to miss it with that stupid run up.
Pick a spot that you know you can hit, and put it there with as much pace as you can.

If the keeper pulls off a worldie of a save it can still be a good penalty imo.
