Milan - Barcelona is incredibly boring
The Prince strikes. A shame we couldn't get the best out of him at Spurs. He looks good whenever I see him play now. He was shocking at times when he played for us though.
Perhaps he has simply matured since then though.
What on earth happened there? Pazzini gets to the ball first, and is headbutted by Puyol when it looks like he was through on goal. And then Barcelona gets the ball. Baffling.
Surely a free kick for Milan and possibly a red card for Puyol.
An honest attempt to get the ball, yes. But if he takes away a clear goalscoring opportunity it doesn't matter at all. I didn't see well enough from the replays whether or not any other Barca player would have caught Pazzini, but it looked like he would have been one on one with the goalkeeper if Puyol hadn't taken him out. The ref seemed to give a free kick to Barca though, or what actually happened? It was an extremely strange decision at least.
Well, that's just ridiculous.I think it was a drop ball, but they were busy showing a replay when it happened.
