I honestly couldn't tell which part of him it hit first I'm leaning towards no pen, I think the ball touched mostly his armpit, but not a clear and obvious error on the ref's side I guess. I'm much more flustered by Raul Jimenez Idiocy, I hope his mates were furious in the dressing room. 100% cost them a point today. | ||

He looks like an average player trying to jump over his head in MC roster, a bunch of questionable decisions during recent game vs Wolves, does not looks like he fit Pep's playstyle which is heavily focused on a teamplay I believe Pep would love to trade him for Messi anytime if he could have a chance He was worth 100 million to Aston Villa and City had to pay it. I think Pep wanted him precisely because he’s not a ‘Pep player’, but it’ll take time to gel. As great as City are in full flow, it’s a well-oiled machine. Notably in some of their big Champion’s League losses when the machine isn’t delivering the goods, the players seem to struggle to deviate, and they just play like robots in to a defeat. My best guess is Pep wanted Grealish because he’s more off the cuff and improvisational, he is that kind of individualistic player, which in a team of good systemic city-zens might give them an extra edge. Messi of course is/was the ultimate weapon in this regard, I just don’t think City were expecting him to be available and had already moved for Grealish | ||

I agree with all of that Also Aubameyang wasn't in the squad at all for Arsenal today and Arteta said it was for "a disciplinary breach". Apparently he didn't rock up to training. | ||

But you are right that zwayer himself could have called it. is that a new rule or something? not that long ago, the rule was clear for on going foul situations the moment where the foul ended was where it was supposed to be given. this was mostly irrelevant elsewhere, but significant in penalty situations. i know this was like this for a fact because there were a few very very very very controversial decisions in our home league a few years ago that were justified by the experts as correct due to this rule (either penalty given or not, happened both ways). | ||

I don't know about Portugal but it has been that way for as long as I can remember. If a foul starts outside the penalty area then it has always been a free kick and not a pen. | ||

This one is kinda tricky. If there is foot contact and the player falls into the box, it's always point of contact. But with holding it is much more difficult | ||

Villarreal – Manchester City Inter – Ajax Sporting - Juventus Bayern - Atletico United- PSG Liverpool - Salzburg Chelsea - Lille Most are fairly one sided tbh. United PSG I can see go either way (IF united keeps progressing - but player by player they're competitive), and while Ajax has been fantastic I'm still inclined to believe that they're a bit more vulnerable than the other top teams, so if they get like 3 key injuries maybe they're worse off. | ||

Not really that I think it's conscious because these mistakes are too damn amateurish but basically.. Villareal could not draw Real Madrid (same country) or Manchester United (same group) But when Villareal was drawing opponent, Manchester United hadn't been removed from the selection. Villareal ended up drawing Manchester United. Redraw happens, they get City. Not really a big deal, because whether United is part of that draw and they redraw if United is picked, or whether they entirely omit them from Villareal's opponents doesn't actually make any difference. However, it seems like they forgot to put Manchester United back in the selection, and when Atletico Madrid was drawing opponent, United should have been part of their potential opponents - but they weren't. That one is a genuine scandal, something that should/could inspire a full redraw. | ||

If I were Bayern, I would want a redraw. Atleti is one of the worst if not THE worst draw for them | ||

If not, the draw stands If I were Bayern, I would want a redraw. Atleti is one of the worst if not THE worst draw for them Famous last words but Athleti were shocking in the groups and rather fortunate to get out. Granted I said this before they put Liverpool out, but I just don’t think they’re that good anymore Don’t fancy Inter’s chances against Ajax, but I’m quite happy with the draw, Ajax play nice football and though we might not make it through I’d rather have a tie against a historically huge team in top form. We’re not always in the CL, even less frequently do we make it out of groups, may as well get a sexy tie Unless one has genuine realistic ambitions of winning the whole thing, getting an ‘easy’ draw at this stage isn’t super appealing to me. This is assuming the draw stands considering what people are saying about them actually fucking up the draw. | ||

Edit: Bild.de says it will be redrawn in an hour or two | ||
