Champions League 24/25

[Bedfordspurs]

He spends so much time way out of his technical area too, he needs a player to two foot the bell-end

The 4th official actually policed that

What stood out for me was the managers
Lego head is part of the reason they struggle because he is way way too emotional. He is like having a child on the sideline

100% mate. That's always been his, and their, biggest weakness.

Yep
But they like him
Let them keep him

So, both CL finals could be Arsenal vs Barca.

Has that ever happened before?

 

[fernadez]

Barca moulding their defensive style on Tottenham is an interesting choice.

Shows the flaws with the philosophy, even with better plays it still is ridiculously vulnerable at all times.

 

[Rorschach]

I think that is a pen.

 

[fernadez]

Last ditch lunging tackles facing your own goal

It's oh so familiar

 

[paxtonwolf]

Having 3 or 4 views I still cant see how that is a pen, I just dont see the touch that VAR has seen. My eyes must be going worse

I was just thinking the same. Barca so open and easy to get at. Inter are playing it perfectly atm. They are a very good side.

"Paddy, get back 'ere. Its all kicking off"

How the hell is DiMarco still on the pitch?

You can see how it unravelled for us. Watching it removed it's obviously that all it took was analysts to review our setup and then it's simple to devise methods to beat it.

Inter look like they went away watched the tape of the last game and then have come back with a few tweaks.

Did he stay out for half time? Weird

Looks like he barely touches Martinez a split second before he's on the ball. Not a clear and obvious error by the ref in the first place and certainly not a clear pen, in my opinion.

It's a bit tough on the defender but Martinez gets his foot to the ball and he kicks through it to get to the ball. Could've gone either way really but with VAR any contact on the foot usually ends up with a pen.

The 4th official actually policed that

Not really. Other mangers get a yellow for stepping out on the pitch, and get sent to the stand if they repeatedly do it. Arteta spends more time outside the technical area and on the pitch, than he is inside it. Never gets carded though.

Looks like Cubarsi never quite got his foot around Martinez’s on the reverse angle.

 

[Kandi1977]

Said it for a long time that I think Inter will win it. Not because they are sensational, but because they are a bit different. They are solid defensively and deadly in transition and counters. Really hard working team.
That said, PSG - Barcelona would be an epic final. Two teams that only have attack on their mind.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Lovely finish

 

[Daisuk]

Yes! Come on!
