[QUOTE="weasel, post: 567196, member: 14"] I half watched both games last night. Two good games. Some great goals in the City game, Real getting a bit lucky with two deflections, but you gotta fancy City to win at the Etihad. Arsenal game looked interesting. I think they got the Saka penalty call right. He throws his leg into Neuer. You can't give penalties for that. The annoying thing, if you are an Arsenal fan, is if he had just kept going he was either going to get cleaned or get a tap in. Instead he blatantly throws his leg in. Bayern should have had a penalty of their own, Gabriel might not have heard the whistle, but ehhh that's his ****ing problem. Had he booted the ball away and said he didn't hear the whistle he would have been booked. VERY VERY lucky the ref went easy on him. If I was Bayern fan I would be raging. It was 2-1 at that point too. Then we get to everyone's favourite "I can do what I like and I expect a free kick or penalty every time" Engerlund captain and his flying elbows. Had that been last season in the PL, he gets a free kick and Gabriel probably gets booked. But, despite it being in England the European ref's don't know the rule that Engerlund captain is allowed to do whatever he wants, and thus he got booked. The look of disbelief on his face summed it up. Could he have gone off for it? Possibly, he does look to see where the defender is before throwing his arm, but it is the fleshy part of his arm and not his elbow that hit Gabriel. I suspect had the ref red carded him VAR wouldn't have overturned it, but I think a yellow was about fair. That second leg will be interesting, Arsenal have left themselves a lot to do. I would love to know why both those games were yesterday and today we have the snoozefest of GBH FC (Atleti) against the German Spurs (Dortmund) and the Rich man's plaything (PSG) against the most financially ****ed club in the world (Barca). Neither of which appeal. [/QUOTE]
