UEFA Champions League Matchday 4

[StatesideSensFan]

some great refereeing already today in at least two matches.

PSV lead on a clearly offside goal and Umtiti gave away a penalty on Sterling, only for the ref to book Sterling for diving heh.

100% penalty on Sterling. What's more the ref had a great view of it. Sterling perhaps making a bit of it, but it shouldn't matter as it was clear as day. Seeing Messi's goal I just wonder how much it would matter. Too early to say, but that Messi goal and some of the other counters have been really good from Barça.

Umiti making a couple of nice defensive plays since the penalty drama. Digne getting beaten by Sterling pretty easily and Digne should be on a yellow. Neymar looking good on the breaks.

Half expected Sterling to get a second yellow on Neymar's challenge.

 

[Epictetus]

This was definitely a penalty. https://streamable.com/mzgw

Absolutely shocking decision by the referee.

 

[les Habs]

Well that goal came from nowhere. City were literally pegged back in their defensive third for how long and then score from a sloppy play.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Giroud ties it up!!!!

 

[Jussi]

Nice dive from Messi.

 

[les Habs]

LOL. VERY obviously wasn't a dive.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Nice dive from Messi.

Wasn't a dive, but him complaining for a penalty was a bit rich.

 

[les Habs]

Not when you consider Fernandinho caught him as well.

Barça letting City back into the match is frustrating considering how they were dominating.

Claudio Kesuru was a kid I would always buy in PES 2006. 10 years later plying his trade in the Bulgarian league.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Fernandinho got the ball very clearly.

 

[StatesideSensFan]

that was just a stupid play by Guardado for the Bayern penalty.

 

[StatesideSensFan]

Fernandinho got the ball very clearly.

heh, just look at the avatar, you arent dealing with an unbiased source.

 

[les Habs]

Fernandinho also got the player very clearly. So while to us watching the play it was very obviously not a penalty, to the player getting caught from the side/behind while he's go full steam it's not so obvious.

 

[les Habs]

heh, just look at the avatar, you arent dealing with an unbiased source.

Yeah, that's why I said Sterling's penalty was 100%.

 

[les Habs]

Nice goal by Griezmann.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

So, the player didn't know Fernandinho got the ball? Doubt it.

City can't be losing the ball cheaply because on the balance they're bound to concede again on the counter. Their opponents hardly look like a brick wall either, so should be a good half of football.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That was horriffic from Sterling, oh my god.

Lol Neymar.

 

[les Habs]

Very possibly, yes. Sitting at home watching a slow motion replay on a play like that is very different than experiencing it at speed in real time.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Beautiful De Bruyne free kick. Ter Stegen, though...

 

[Evilo]

Ter Stegen

 

[les Habs]

Ter Stegen should have done better with that. Again, Barça let them back into this one.

 

[les Habs]

Gomes... Once again giving away the match. And how was Turan not fouled with multiple pushes from behind?

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

What a game... City is playing great now
