Defender has very clearly got the ball and his face at the same time. I understand it being given, especially as the defender seems unaware of the attacker and you could argue that's reckless/dangerous.

 

There is a point where you have to draw the line though and say the player heading the ball is the one creating unnecessary danger to himself, and therefore it is not a pen. I think this is borderline the right side of that for Atalanta.

 

Kelly sending off is just outright daft, he's looking at the ball the entire time.

It's a cross into the box that was clearly there to be headed.

 

The Dortmund defender misreads to cross, panics and flails his leg out in a desperate attempt to clear with no regard for the safety of his opponent.

 

It's a blatant foul.

Very harsh second yellow tbh .

 

I thought it was an accident coming from behaviour that wasn't reckless and wasn't even a foul let alone a card. In rugby we'd have called it just a "rugby incident."

 

It's obviously extremely painful for the guy that got stood on but it's just something unfortunate that can happen in the sport. 

 

I'm not disagreeing it was an awful decision, just that it's not pointless for VAR to review an incident an upgrade it to a full red from a second yellow.

He had an absolute nightmare as well. One of the worst individual performances from a centre back since Faes' two own goals at Anfield. 

 

Oh and anyone that's ever made mocking, sarcastic comments about Leicester fans historically hesitant of signing Akanji purely because he had a stint at Man City, go watch the Inter Bodo game

Feel like Man City and Real Madrid have played so many times in the last few years. If Man City win it this year they'll have earnt it. 

 

Arsenal should cruise to the semis.

Good to see some different names in the hat but 6/16 sides being from England doesn't half make the whole thing seem a bit dull to me!!!!

[Dan]

Crikey that has fallen nicely for Arsenal.

 

You can never trust them to see it through though.

[Super_horns]

Arsenal definitely got the best draw but will mean more pressure on them .

 

Not much reward for Chelsea or Spurs coming in the top 8 really .

The reward was a bye to this round

I'd say, for Arsenal, that Bodo was probably the easiest, despite the Norwegian side's results.

True and I guess probably was a good chance they'd get a tough game -particularly  the way Spurs have been playing,

[Zear0]

Wonderful

[spacemunky]

No way that stands.

[Lionator]

That has to be disallowed surely

 

the TNT commentators are a joke, he literally punched it.

Where do they find these goalkeepers and they're paying them millions?! Surely there must me a proper Mafia of agents/owners/directors running this sport. 

 

[JonnyZeroFox]

Spuds 3 down inside 18 minutes  

[Fear Of The Fox]

We want 20! We want 20! 

WE WANT 20!

[Langston]

Absolutely incredible trio of goals to concede!!!

[foxfanazer]

Wow bringing Kinsky off is brutal

[Corky]

Manager has had enough after three weeks.

Responsible for 2 goals… the first especially ridiculous  but yeah being pulled after 18 minutes is something else 

[Trent Steel]
