Why can't we have refs like that in the PL. Superb decision
They get it so right in Europe whilst we get it so wrong (apart from the PSG penalty against Newcastle)Good quick VAR decision there too.
No messing around .
Saka should be banned for that cheating
Thought he was playing in the PL and a penalty would be a formality.Saka is an absolute idiot for that, what is he thinking?! Madness.
Definitely. Unbelievably good decision from the referee…that would have been overturned in the Prem.Thought he was playing in the PL and a penalty would be a formality.
Just does my head in. I know there are covering defenders getting back, but he's round the keeper, his next touch is to kick the ball in the net for a 94th minutes winner, but he goes out of his way to stick a leg out to get a contact and go down. It's such a sorry comment on modern football.Definitely. Unbelievably good decision from the referee…that would have been overturned in the Prem.
The stream I watched one commo asked the other, "did Saka instigate the contact?"Comms on Arsenal saying it was a pen. Total idiots biased ****s.
Massive game at St Andrew’s tomorrow night against Cardiff.That's a big win for Millwall. It's looking very stressful for Birmingham City.
The key is was it a clear error ?Two of the BT members of Mensa, Keown and Ferdinand were in meltdown at full time as why was Saka not given a penalty. Well allow me to explain gentleman, " Unconscious Bias " towards certain teams in the Premier League carries no weight with European refs. We all know that is a nailed on pen if that happens against say Wolves, Palace, Brighton or Bournemouth but thankfully Stockley Park has zero input in UEFA competitions.
I watched most of the Bayern game and the Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg was outstanding. Howard Webb should get all his buffoons to watch his performance as he clearly grasps the concept that football is a contact sport and not every tackle is a foul. He did not buy a single dive or bit of play acting ( Harry Kane got no change out of him ) and he was taking no crap when it came to dissent as he had the look of one of those iceberg tough Swedish ice hockey defencemen !!!
Just the £1.5 billion rebuild then. Yeah, hands in your pockets Jeff. That’s what you can do when you’ve won the European cup 14 times, and have a global following. Always fill it, never get relegated.What a stadium the nou camp is. Edit, bernebau! Same applies though! . Cmon Jeff, tick tock! That would be cool in old gold!! My god, no one in Wolverhampton would be able to sleep at night! It would be seen from space!
It's what we deserve tbh
Well put and completely agree. Imagine they go out because of that now.Just does my head in. I know there are covering defenders getting back, but he's round the keeper, his next touch is to kick the ball in the net for a 94th minutes winner, but he goes out of his way to stick a leg out to get a contact and go down.

For all the comments about the modern game (some of it is obviously warranted) these European nights are extraordinary at times. That Madrid city game was unreal at times, like watching an AI version of football. The beautiful game at its best.
I’ve always been of the opinion that the champions league should be a knockout competition from day 1 as generally the group stages are so very dull but when you see the quarter final ties onwards it fair to see why (from a spectacle point of view not necessarily the best sporting one). Hopefully tonight’s ties will be equally enthralling!Those two games last night were of of a standard of entertainment and skill levels that personally I doubt any games in this summer's European Championship will reach. I am with Sir Alex Ferguson when he said a few years back that a number of games in the Champions League Quarter Finals and latter stages are superior to World Cup and European Championship games.
Agree. Just like the old European Cup. When you consider that most groups of 4 teams are done and dusted after 3 or 4 games.I’ve always been of the opinion that the champions league should be a knockout competition from day 1 as generally the group stages are so very dull but when you see the quarter final ties onwards it fair to see why (from a spectacle point of view not necessarily the best sporting one). Hopefully tonight’s ties will be equally enthralling!

The international game is horrendous from a quality perspective. Very little going on tactically because there is no time to install anything but a base shape. I tend to have little interest personally.Those two games last night were of of a standard of entertainment and skill levels that personally I doubt any games in this summer's European Championship will reach.

He is hitting form at the perfect time for city and England with the euros looming:Foden is world class. What a player.
It seems certain clubs get away with anythingI see you're allowed to pick the ball up in your own penalty area, as Gabriel did last night, and get away with it?
I didn't mind that to be fair, common sense refereeing for once. Tuchel moaned about it as he would but it's not like Arsenal gained an advantage from it or anything, was just a mixup with the hearing of the whistle etc.I see you're allowed to pick the ball up in your own penalty area, as Gabriel did last night, and get away with it?
I'm going to assume that's autocorrected 'literally kicked' to 'literally killed' or I feel there would have been more discussion of it by now?Seeing Arsenal fans still claiming that Saka should've had a penalty is fun viewing, he literally killed Neuer and it gets clearer each time you watch a replay of it.
To be fair the last World Cup was unbelievably entertaining, brilliant tournament. The Euros before it were very good as well.Those two games last night were of of a standard of entertainment and skill levels that personally I doubt any games in this summer's European Championship will reach.

He didn't.Seeing Arsenal fans still claiming that Saka should've had a penalty is fun viewing, he literally killed Neuer and it gets clearer each time you watch a replay of it.
“Literally killed” him! RIP Neuer!Seeing Arsenal fans still claiming that Saka should've had a penalty is fun viewing, he literally killed Neuer and it gets clearer each time you watch a replay of it.
Would it not have been common sense to allow Kilman's goal?I didn't mind that to be fair, common sense refereeing for once. Tuchel moaned about it as he would but it's not like Arsenal gained an advantage from it or anything, was just a mixup with the hearing of the whistle etc.
Just let the 22 blokes on the pitch play their game and facilitate it accordingly, that's what the Swedish Ref did last night and why he's rightly receiving a lot of praise.
