I was scrolling through twitter as Arsenal fans were upset at not getting the Saka PK while BM fans were posting about the handball non call.

According to Tuchel: "Speaking after the game, Tuchel said to TNT Sports: "I think the referee did not have the courage to give a deserved penalty today in a bit of a crazy and awkward situation.
“He admitted on the pitch that he saw the situation and that quarter-final is not enough for him to give a penalty, for a kid’s mistake. He admitted he saw the mistake the player made.
“It was a goal kick, the goalkeeper passed to a central defender and one touched the ball with the hand because he thought it was not in game but it was in game and the referee admitted it was in game and was handball. Very frustrating.”

That's crazy for the ref to say.

Probably worth noting those are Tuchel's words (translated into English) so likely a bit of a gap between that quoted statement and whatever the referee actually said.

Perhaps. Still, if the actual quote from the Ref is close to this, absolutely unacceptable for him to say and not call a PK there.

Not a good two minutes from Barca

Not a good two minutes from Barca

I guess they found some better minutes.

How was the game?

 

[B Maverick]

Looks like a few goals were scored today too. Nice. Hopefully the games were entertaining.

Fun game. They seem to matchup well. Second leg will be good

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Terrible GK error by Callender and Miami is down 3-1 agg at HT in Mexico.

 

[El Floppo]

Liverpool with the rare 2 cup games on the same day....Europa and Libertadores

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Clear penalty to Leverkusen and they are on their way toward clinching the Bundesliga today, up 1-0 at home against Bremen.

 

[titusbramble]

Two worldies for Leverkusen now

 

[CletiusMaximus]

They're gonna have absolute bedlam in Leverkusen. Supporters are already climbing over barricades and spilling onto the pitch at 4-0 with 10 minutes to play. Security is completely overwhelmed before its even started.

5-0 win. What a way to end it.

Good for them.

Pep and his boys have to feel like its Christmas morning.

 

[bigbottom]

Roma’s Ndicka collapses on the field and is stretchered off. Match abandoned. I’m sick right now. So worried.

Word is that he is conscious and being taken to the hospital which is better news than many feared.

 

[titusbramble]

Thank god, as an ex-SGE player this was more concerning than it would be otherwise

 

[McBokonon]

Ipswich on their way (no jinx no jinx) to another win to keep distance from third place Leeds.

Absurd Wes Burns goal - 2nd angle is the best one.

This just won EFL goal of the season - you saw it here first!

 

[El Floppo]

Jordan Morris murmurs his approval.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Kane is more powerful than Coman

[titusbramble]

Hat trick within half an hour for Palmer and he's missed one from a yard out as well

 

[encaitar]

Cole Palmer going off again. This kid is the goods. Only 1 goal behind Haaland for the league lead now.

 

[El Floppo]

It's been an odd season in the EPL, but is there a more Jeckyl and Hyde team Chelsea? Every now and then it all clicks and they look like a CL team again... And most of the time it doesn't and they look solidly mid table.

So glad CP got the hell out of there.

24 scored and 15 conceded in their last 7.5 games. Its like riding on a crazy circus train week in and out. Prior to today CFC had scored at least 2 and conceded at least 2 in 7 consecutive games. Even at 4-0 at home against Everton I feel like its far from settled and anything could happen.

Yeah. It's nice to see CP getting all the support and game time he's gotten this year in Milan, but I can't help but think he'd fit in beautifully on the left side in this Chelsea squad too. He's honestly exactly what they're missing in their attack right now.

I can think of at least 1 other team that can rival Chelsea in this.

Yeah, Luton Town has had some amazing moments.

For sure, I'd hate to see them relegated.

 

[titusbramble]

Can we give Chelsea another penno so we get more comedy

 

[encaitar]

Seriously... What was that? Their designated taker is on the field and no one else is on a hat trick.... Shouldn't have been an issue.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Palmer covering all the bases today - goals with left foot, right, a header and a penalty.

I agree it shouldn't be an issue, but didn't he already have his hat trick? Scoring would give him 4 on the day?

Just missing the hand.

I absolutely thought of you when I wrote it.

Barca v PSG

Barca v PSG

verrrrry entertaining

 

[NewlyRetired]

Dortmund now up 3-2 on aggregate over Atletico Madrid. If this holds, it could play an important part as to whether England or Germany get the 5th champions league spot next year.

Wild wild finish. wow

 

[B Maverick]

Did MBappe just seal it for PSG?

 

[Desert_Power]

Such an idiotic red from Araújo ruined the chances.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Ter Stegen is a beast.
