The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

And, for a United fan, very sobering. We are so far adrift of playing football at this level it’s frightening.

Don’t think anyone in the Prem has played with this level of intensity since the 2/3 season Klopp and Pep went at it

Inter getting all the big decisions.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Could have gone either way though, a bit like the Madrid penalty overturned.

I’m just conditioned to expect the big Spanish sides get the calls, and this year it isn’t happening.

That’s a perfect example because that looks liked it was still carrying on into the box

Looked to me that the actual contact with Yamal’s foot was inside.

 

[Billysboots]

Actually a pity that this game, or the first leg, aren’t the final. Two top quality games of football. Certainly amongst the best I’ve seen this season.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

First thought I thought outside the box but so tight

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Another great VAR decision. They have been spot on

Surely with multiple angles and multiple replays in super slow-mo that should be a given.

I think as good as the first VAR was they got that one wrong - it was tight but certainly contact also inside the box

Inter under siege now - need to find a way to get on the ball for a bit

Look dead on their feet. Having experienced a game where I was chasing shadows, it’s not surprising.

First contact seemed to be marginally outside. Ultimately I don't think it will matter as Inter look dazed and Barca in the ascendency

And Barce will prob bring on Lewandowski soon to finish it off

The slide started outside but I saw first contact on Yamal’s foot inside.

As far as I can tell, the only time that applies in the Rules of the Game is in relation to "holding"

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not sure about that. Either way it wasn't given but with Inter playing kick and rush I can't see any outcome than a Barca win (so that'll be a late Inter winner then)

I certainlty wouldn’t bet against it now you’ve said it.

Always been a big Barcelona fan. Loved Messi , iniesta, eto, xavi etc

But wow this team is taking shape

Lamal is the true successor to Messi. 17? Wow

What a game

 

[GreiginFife]

Raphinha, who was on his way out last year. Fantabulous.

Pay Cubarsi has also been an incredible find. Vastly underrated compared to Yamal.

Pau Victor also breaking through with Fermin also pushing for regular time.
