This ref sucks

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

That's an unrealistic standard.

Only from 2008-2011. You wont see such a domination from any other team again. That what we see today is nothing special.

 

[Andresito]

But it's a judgment call if that touch had any role in the goal.

The ball can't touch the hand before it's a goal, simple as that. Doesn't matter if it's deliberate or doesn't influence anything, it can't touch it, not before a goal.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Actually looking at the rakitic penalty again I'm not so sure it was. Mertens looked like he moved away from the line of the ball and bumped into rakitic. Well both bumped into each other really

Booom.. Exactly. Yet this was called instant penalty and no review. Haha

That's not rigged? Yet versus Messi they try to find ten angles to call it a hand.. woe nice job!

 

[KingLeo10]

The game is becoming more of soccer than football, its being Americanized and losing its passion just like cities become westernized and lose connection to their culture

 

[Devils]

Next goal is crucial.

If Napoli score, we will collapse, dawg.

I see, well, if that's the rule, it's a hand ball, because the touch, while very slight, was clear.

True. Esp. if Messi is out too. Napoli has no fear.

totally agree

 

[Ritchie]

Since when they call such a light touch? Like from 3-4 angles I saw I couldn't see it hitting his arm. I couldn't even see a hand ball! They should at least provide video of it if they call it off..

It took 20 views over 10 minutes to decide it touched his hand. There should be a 1 minute maximum they can use to disallow it.

At least Messi got to enjoy his career before VAR has destroyed the game.

 

[Horatio]

We will bottle this dawgs.

 

[serghei]

Sub Rakitic for Puig please.

We will bottle this dawgs.

Napoli need 3 to qualify, because we'll score at least 1 more.

 

[Richard.H]

Very important 2nd half. If they screw this one up, they’ll need daily therapy and antidepressant medication

Lenglet's goal was a foul.
