How was it a handball? Even from big screen in the pub it's not!

Exactly. Every angle they showeex how can you call that hand ball? Joke

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

It is not the referees decision to look at VAR and both right.

It is not rigged.

Look at messis handball today, look at Lyons handball yesterday. See the same thing happening again? Ghost calls

Messis handball no way. It should be goal.

Looked like clipped Messi arm when slowed it down.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Not really worried about the 2nd half. It's not like Barca are known for blowing big leads ...oh wait

Hope Messi is okay tho.

we are playing well.

VAR is a joke and should be removed from football asap, what a killjoy

VAR is not the issue. Prob is the stoopy rules and the idiots behind the monitors

Messi what a Warrior

On that 1st goal, pretty much most players would go down for a pen but he stays up and scores with a flick of the foot. How he managed to add that curve he's gotta have the most flexible ankle

Super resilient too after that Koulyhit

Looked like it touched Messis arm. Only slight but did look like it.

Didn't like that we allowed Napoli to play. Said it with Valverde as well, we don't have a team that is properly good in defense to stop them at the border of our box. We leak chances when we fail to stop the other team relatively early in their build-up. We need to play better in midfield and offense at closing down spaces.

Thought he was subpar myself.

He was shaky but its an effective position for him honestly. He is useful and can contribute even more if he gets used to it and so do the other players

 

[putogusiluz8]

I agree. As were Pique, Roberto, and Rakitic. This team must always have several players being utterly mediocre.

 

[Horatio]

I think Messis was a handball. From the side angle you could tell ball got a slight touch off of his arm.

 

[mc_lovin]

VAR today has been far too slow, but just remember what a colossal shitshow football was pre VAR.

 

[Devils]

While the handball rule is garbage the ref made the right call based on the rule.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Whatever. vAR is ruining this shit. Try to enjoy this piece of shit football. Every Messi magic is taken away and when players faul Messi they barely give penalty and when villains have a spot it's obvious penalty. It's fucking weird to me.

Letting the other team not play is something only vintage Barca could do.

That's an unrealistic standard.

I think Messis was a handball. From the side you could tell ball got a slight touch off of his arm.

But is there a rule that every touch with the hand is a hand ball, no matter if it doesn't influence the play? The touch is so slight that it changes nothing.
