Kinda. Kane put the ball in but he was offside. It was just close. The reason people might get confused is that Kane was behind the foremost body part of Emerson, but he headed the ball and Kane was ahead of the ball (and obviously all defenders)Spursfan friend texts me saying they got robbed. I'm not watching. Did they get robbed?
Second sending off this year.And Conte couldn’t behave as usual.
Second sending off this year.
People have been bashing Nunez for missing some easy chances but we can't create anything when he's not on the pitch.
He's also now close to a goal per 90. Can't say that he's a steal given the price but I wouldn't undo the transfer and have no regrets about it that's for sure.
Barcelona's defense just fell asleep. Not that it matters but come on.
Missing Mane is not the problem. Mane was replaced by Luis Diaz and until his injury Diaz was no worse than LFC’s second best outfield player this season; and you can make the argument that he had been better than Salah. I don’t think there are many games (that Diaz played) where Mane wins if he is there instead. The issue is the midfield is crocked. They can’t run anymore so Liverpool can’t cope with these teams going at them.Well I know I don’t have to tell you that it’s an investment at that price. I’m just curious if Mane had stayed and they still brought him in how the season would be going.
Kane was ahead of the ball.Don't blame Conte the slightest. Call was absolutely horseshit.

The Mane thing is kind of boring to me. Here is an interesting one though: What if Liverpool had signed Bruno G. last January instead of Diaz? That’s a fun sliding doors moment because completely different players and responsibilities. It’s hard to say LFC is better off, especially last season, but maybe they are? That’s one I would be curious about crowd sourcing
Up front hasn’t been the problem though. It’s injuries and getting them the ball. Salah more of a playmaker this year because someone has to do it.Clearly midfield is the biggest issue and I never said Mane is the problem, but Mane still provides competition and depth up front which I would say helps. Not that they’re playing bad, but who of the forward players has been firing on all cylinders?
As of right now I think it’s hard to say do it differently considering the scenario you’ve put forward. That said, the question you all know still remains. Why not spend the money and bring in a quality midfielder? I can only imagine it’s because you either don’t want to invest in the team or if you can’t get your man (Tchouameni) you’re not going to settle.
Lloris needs to be saving that
What a finish! A save on the penalty, the rebound off the bar, and the follow up off the line.
BUT WAS THERE ENCROACHMENT? no.

Seeing Simeone's Atletico fail is always nice to see.
Terrible CL for La Liga teams this season.
