Refs giving slight push to the biggest, richest, most important footballing nations.
Why = to keep them alive because it brings the most money, fans, sponsors, shirts sold.
Is it better to have France/England or Bulgaria in finals, if possible?
Why do smaller teams or clubs NEVER get pens against big teams on WCs or in a CL?
Whenever needed, refs give a push to the richest nations.
Sponsors don't want Latvia or Macedonia in finals. Who will buy their shirts?
Even local people are poor and there are 2 millions of them.
But France, you'll sell 1m of shirts...
Uefa/Fifa hyping/pushing big players because causual fans want to see Messi, Cr7, Mbappe and similar.
There is a reason why Cr7 is getting MOTM awards or why camera is showing him on the bench.
He is fan's favorite person, people want him and FIFA is giving them what they want.
It is all just a show to get as many viewers, fans, sponsors as possible.
And like any job like music, movies, drugs, criminal activities, politics = football's show also has it's own rules.
Messi/Cr7 Ballon D Ors. Often times undeserved. But fans want that type of show and FIFA is delivering what fans want.
In movies, the most popular actors are always the most handsome men in 20s, 30s or 40s. And beautiful women, usually aged 18-30.
Not too many want to watch movies with a 76 year old women.
So, Hollywood is giving fans what they want.
In music the same. If you are not beautiful, talent won't be enough.
The whole world and showbusiness have rules and patterns.
Why do you think that football is different and and that not a lot of matches, pens, awards are rigged to earn the highest amount of money and to give fans what they want?
Barca is dead.
Fifa/Uefa don't want dead Barca.
That's a lot of money and sponsors lost.
So, let's keep them alive and give them hope: Gavi is the best young player in the world, lol.
A total showbusiness...

Gavi was starting games for Barca and Spain at 17, not exactly hard to figure out why there might be hype and individual titles.
That also greatly overrates the importance of some random trophy for one player in regards to sponsors and public opinion. If they want to keep us alive that bad that they should've rather given the refs some instructions to prevent us from crashing out of CL again

Exactly.
The decisions Barca didnt get v Inter and Bayern were ridiculous.. but BBZ claims UEFA/Refs etc are out to make sure Barca stay 'alive'.
Usual drivel.
There will be some mental gymnastics as to why Barca didnt get these decisions.
UEFA want success for the biggest sides to keep them 'alive'....silly to 'fix' EL draw for United and Barca to meet.

With refs help, you can't help if a team is losing 3:0.
But if a match is tied, you can always give a slight push with free kicks in dangerous areas, soft pens, questionable offsides (before VAR).
Examples:
1. Big NT teams in qualifying rounds or KO matches (France-Ireland scandal a few years ago)
2. Pens in dying minutes, Seria A - Juventus
3. Barca in a CL while we were good
4. Real and CR7 pens in a CL
A question: have you ever seen a horrible refs decision against Real or Barca in important CL match against smaller teams, or even vs Bayern, Arsenal and similar?
Or, have you ever seen a huge refs mistake against let's say France in KO matches?
My domestic team, Dinamo Zagreb from Croatia, plays CL qualifiers for 30 years.
Whenever we play vs Liverpool, Arsenal, Sevilla, Milan in qualifiers, there are only 3 scenarios:
1. Either they smash you 3:0 without refs help
2. Or you smash them 3:0 so that refs can't interfere
3. If the tie is 50:50 late in the game, you'll always see a soft pen for Chelsea/Arsenal/Milan
In 30 years of qualifiers, I have probably seen 10 soft pens against us vs rich teams.
And never a soft pen for a small team at 0:0 result.
Why?
Because, if possible, Uefa's goal is to have all the best/richest teams in a CL.
Sponsors, domestic fans, Usa/Asian fans want to see big clubs, big names, big/fancy matches.
Liverpool-Barca is always more interesting and more lucrative than Barca-Plzen/Maribor/Zagreb.
So, cheating and rigged refs are not blatant but soft and intelligent.
Regarding Barca, we are so bad currently that even refs can't help us.

More nonsense.
Refs made atrocious decisons against Barca this season... but they 'fix' golden boy award to 'keep Barca alive'.
UEFA 'fix draw' to put a Barca they so want to be a success in a group with Bayern and Inter and then refs make poor decisions that cost Barca.... yet you just keep repeat same nonsense as always have of UEFA fixing things for likes of Barca.
Barca had plenty decision against them even when 'at best'. You are speaking utter shite.
Sop waffling your usual inane nonsense.

1. Did refs make bad calls against Barca durung our peak popularity and Messi/Cr7 rivalry?
Not today
2. Did refs make bad calls against RM during 2014-2018?
Not today
Why are Messi's Argies getting soft pens at 0:0 in Qatar during Messi's final WC?
You really don't need to be Sherlock to understand why.
Because people want to watch that story/movie.
"Messi's fairytale, final chapter"
Can it have a happy ending?
We'll see...
And FIFA will surely give us that chance and earn tons of money on it.
What a shock.
