The Barça TV guys checked the football regulations and it appears to say that if the fault continues from outside to inside the box, the ref must call the most punishing one in the play. Or if there are 2 different fouls, the same applies.

... So what? That's like saying nothing as far as I'm concerned.

If we speak only about what actually happened then Barça got a questionable penalty and was robbed of a totally legal goal. No assumptions.

Stupid thing is that every time Barça gets a favourable decision, it gets emphasized in the greatest manner possible, but whenever they get a decision against, no-one ever speaks a word about it. It's the same thing with Ajax in the Netherlands. Because they win the league 3 times in a row, every freaking Feyenoord/PSV/Twente fan is constantly whining about KNVB gifting Ajax these championships while last season, it was calculated by a newspaper that it should've ended like this if there were no referee mistakes:

1. Ajax 34-88
2. PSV 34-66
3. Feyenoord 34-64
4. Vitesse 34-55

Instead of what happened:

1. Ajax 34 - 76
2. PSV 34 - 69
3. Feyenoord 34 - 69
4. Vitesse 34 - 64

For example, game of last Sunday. Ajax got 2 legitimate penalties, and didn't get a third that they should've gotten. Also, a player on Heerenveen's side should've been sent of in the first half with a second yellow. Yet all idiots are talking about is the fact that Ajax got help from the ref because they got 2 penalties (again, both justified). It's the same thing with Barça all the time and it's infuriating. Every team that shows a great amount of class and isn't headed by a moron spouting nonsense to the media always gets the short stick by oblivious anti-fans.

I don´t really get why this turned into a "barca benefits from calls" debate. The game was pretty close, barca was a bit better the penalty/red card was extremely close (remember the lines are a part of the box) and ruled after the rulebook.

So whats the point?

Nevertheless, I think that Barca should defend themselves in the medias more than what they do. Even under Guardiola and Laporta, it was one of the things I didn't like in their communication strategy. Pep never says anything in his conferences unless he's really pushed, like with Mou "During conferences, you're the f-ing boss!" :D

All this stuff about Vilar is absurd and it made me really laugh when Iturralde (ex referee) said in the press recently that most of la liga's referees were pro Madrid x)

The problem is lol. Barca have a reputation through out Europe and as you can see people go uber defensive when it is mentioned whether Zeo (which i think he was) is just trolling comment shit goes mad on this forum XD

End of the day, through out the 90minutes there was only one team who were going to score, that was Barcelona. It was a matter of time due to how poorly Pellegrini had City set up.
Now thanks to them playing an old slow as hell CB against Messi they are now pretty much out of the champions league unless Aguero carries them hard in the 2nd leg xD

I didn't really see the Pique goal that was disallowed i don't think because i kind of gave up watching at 10men. City could barely defend with 11 so it was gg at 10 xD

Also Negredo was shite, if you think he was "good" your deluded xD if it was Drogba upfront with those crosses coming in he would of scored at least twice...
Maybe even Dzeko would of scored and even Jovetic. Again if Pellegrini said what he was backing up in the press conferences and going to attack Barca he would of played 2 strikers and not played a LB as Left Wing who i think put one good cross in all game xd

Also what twisted just said is another pointless discussion, all those stats proved is that it all "balances" out as the teams didn't change position just have different points.. Over the course of 34 games the best team still won. End of discussion...

I agree Pandemona, Negredo was shite. Honestly City going forward was just meh allround, counterattacking football didn't really suit them.

Anyway thats in the past!
Lets talk about the Bavarians vs Arsenal. Or how Simeone is going to crush Italian dreams! I feel abit sorry for AC Milan, have a lot of Injuries like ALL THE TIME xD
Their first 11 on paper isn't bad. On FIFA for example their first 11 squad is pretty cool;
Kaka Robinho Honda Balotelli Montilivo ElSharaway good playmakers/attackers
Likes of DeJong and Essien for experience players to tackle people xD
Defense is a bit shaky but still not to bad, and they have an experienced goal keeper.

They could of done something with what they have but im affraid just had the worst managers in charge since the Ancelotti era.

I know he is pretty knew to his PSG career, but buying Cabaye to site on the bench is pretty funny lol. I mean he is better than Veratti as Veratti is still learning his trade no? He hasn't got the legs of Matuidi i agree with that but he should play instead of Veratti imo.



I dont think Cabaye has a shot at being in the starting 3 in the middle, it works very well with Motta/Matuidi/Veratti, you dont want to break that mid-year. Plus Veratti is really good already. His biggest downside is taking a lot of stupid yellow cards, Cabaye will have a lot of playtime because of that

and Veratti is so fun to watch when he does this

Interesting how they chose Cyprus. Not really a place you can get to by car, wonder how many fans of both teams can make it to the game.

Why not play the game in a coutry next to Ukraine like Romania? Did no other country want the game to be played on their soil?

Both Freiburg and Nürnberg were able to get a few good chances in during Bayerns last League fixtures so I can see the Gunners taking it. Still if it isn't by atleast 3 goals I'd favour Bayern to advance.

I can't see how Arsenal can win versus Bayern cause they lack the depth even in their Starting XI. and missing Ramsey is pretty huge too. Would be a big suprise if Arsenal wins. Having said that, Bayern are the favorites.

The biggest problem i see for Arsenal is the lack of a physical defensive midfielder. You cant really play a midfield like Wilsher/Rosicky against Bayern because if you aren´t able to interrupt the ball circulation between Lahm/Tiago/Kroos you are in for a long night.

Also i would like to see Wenger having the guts to cut Özil from the starting 11 and bring him in later. From watching the German national team Özil is just not good enough defensivly to compede against a team that is very good at ball posession football.
