Champions League 2025/26

Absolutely no chance he needed to go down from that contact. Glad he didn't get away with it

If you've tried to 'win' the penalty, I don't think you can complain if you don't get it.

That's not the problem - the real problem is everyone agreeing that it would have been given if it was for Athletico instead...

[Vacamion]

 

Players surrounding the ref, he should be spraying yellow cards for that.  They'd soon learn.

Exactly my point ☝️

So this is the case of 80% of pens awarded this season in CL.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree. Arsenal get favourable decisions all the time and Arteta is one of the biggest whingers about

 

He's tried to deceive the ref essentially so it is what it is

Why not? Are you going to ban me from watching the sport because you're offended by my legit comments and criticism? 

You seem to hate it to be fair. I dont think anyone's offended. I've never seen a comment that suggests you like watching football

 

Also Lookman playing like prime Ayew tonight!

[foxfanazer]

Definitely witnessed the shitter side of football tonight compared to last. Actually threw up more chances than I expected but both sides seem more interested in throwing themselves on the floor and berating the ref

[Fear Of The Fox]

1-1 then. More penalties/non penalties and VAR coming to your screens in a few days. In between you might be lucky and watch 5-10 mins of football.

I will say that you see these penalties given IN THIS COMPETITION, not the Premier League.

So the sport rules are different depending on the competition?!

Of the 3 I actually think the Eze one is the only one given in the premier league. They'd hide behind the clear and obvious remit despite it being obvious he chucked himself on the floor unnecessarily 

[filbertway]

Glad that 2nd pen was overruled.

 

Gerrard needs to make his mind up. Didn't think it was a pen but didnt think it should have been overruled

 

Dno if Atleti gassed or got scared but was very surprised they took the foot off the gas in the last 20

Fletcher said so and who are we to disagree?

I swear they lose their mind. Going on like theres not soft pens given almost weekly in the Prem

 

 

[RowlattsFox]

I think the hand ball would've been given anywhere

Despite the moaning on TNT and 5live .

 

Eze didn’t seem that surprised it was over ruled tbh .

Griezmann, Athletico.

 

I'm still angry, you cheating little shit.  

 

 

 

Gwon Arsenal.   

 

(Then lose to whoever wins the other semi).

 

 

 

 

 

Being pedantic, Griezmann wasn't cheating was he. It was a foul miles outside the box that the corrupt ref gave a penalty for.

Nah, it was a dive, too...

[Silebyfox_89]

Eze dived on minimal contact, Arteta is a prat.

[Footballwipe]

Wider argument than UCL but the sheer hypocrisy of football players, managers, pundits and fans makes me chuckle.

 

Swap every penalty incident/moment in the game yesterday and both teams reactions would of course do a complete 180. It's a nonsense of no objectivity.

[Ian Nacho]

Champions League handballs are atrocious. One thing we do better in this country. 

[Jaspa]

He's a cheating diving little shit bag.

 

The year after Atleti vs Leicester, at the World Cup Final in Moscow, Antwat Greasyman pulled off this trick to get the freekick France scored their first goal from.

 

 

Same game, the ref then gave France a penalty fom a ball striking an arm after a deflected cross. Everything went for France in that tournament, but I was happy for Ngolo.

 

I hope that is written in the stars, one day that we get our revenge on Atletico Madrid.

This is literally vintage Vardy. Don't hate the player.
