How was the "challenge" by Macarthur on Saka! I don't think you can kick someone much harder and miss the ball by as much and still get away with a yellow

Yeh Puligod is like a Gareth Bale, he made of glass

Also i thought Zidane cant speak English? If he has learnt then fair enough, if not i think he has his hopes set on France job

Ajax looking great. Dortmund conceding 2 is fairly expected - let's see if they can bring it back.

Would love to see both these teams do well..

Interesting, Griezmann was sent away (red card), while Ibra for exactly the same foul (even a bit harder) received only a yellow card, wtf?

Interesting calls on Atletico - Liverpool.

Atletico got a soft(ish) penalty call on contact while two players were chasing a cross. Ref gets called to check out the replay and he reverts the decision. Having the benefit of the replay, I'd say it's not a heavy enough contact for a penalty, so it's a good call. Then again it's not by any means the 'clear and obvious error' we are used to seeing.

I don't know really. I'd really prefer the call not to be given, since it looks soft. Then again the I kind of understand why they're careful with the 'clear and obvious error' stuff. Now they're opening up another can of worms.

I guess the good thing is that the ref went to check and made a call. It definitely feels more transparent and tangible than the call being made by someone sitting in the VAR room itself.

Overall I think Liverpool got a bit lucky with the ref. All the big calls made sense on their own and are understandable and probably even the best calls in isolated cases to me, but it's still pretty rare to see things line up so well for one team over the other.

Its clear that Liverpool paid more to get better calls by the ref than Atletico did.

Ajax is a different team than Mainz it seems, Dortmund were playing poorly yesterday but huge props to Ajax indeed!

I wonder if they've got the replacement figured out or if they're just removing the deadwood since Bruce probably doesn't have strong authority over the squad at this point anyway.

An impressive comeback but man I could have taken a less stressful win too. Super happy to see Rashford hit the ground running and Maguire getting a rare one as well!
