CL Round 3: Inter - FC Barcelona 1-0

[Nazario1985]

The rules are very clear. If the ball is deflected onto your arm directly from your head it is not a handball.

It's not that simple, trajectory correction/output ....etc are kings for this kind of decision, hence why the referee interpretation is needed otherwise we will just be needing an algorithm to do the job

It's sad that the team looks so confused any time we face a team that knows how to park the bus. Sad that Xavi still hasn't figured out what to do either as a manager.

 

[Slevinn]

As the rules are now (if I haven?t missed yet another rule change) they are only different if the attacker in question would score himself.

When did this change? And do you have a source for it?

 

[kattanib]

I am dumb fried .. how was that not a penalty?

 

[gasgas]

How many more levers are we gonna need?

 

[Gnidrologist]

Apart from most players being shit, it's just retarded to have everyone standing around in the opposite half and wait the ball to the feet all the time, half of the players facing away from ball too. There's no meaningful movement to create passing lanes and runs into the box. Wtf did Xavi forgot the football he played himself? Make players move their asses and create space for themselves. This static christmas tree formation is abomination.

 

[Nazario1985]

Rewatching it, think 99% of referees would have made the same decision the 1% being blind and wanting the easy out hand = pen

Now we have shit to correct, and Xavi needs to find his balls and stop crying

 

[Barcaman]

Can someone point to me where's a plan B?

If there was anytime in Barca history to show how beneficial it is, it was last season with Luuk.

Xavi had him and used him in desperate situations so many times when his tactics failed and it worked. What did he learn? Nothing.

Just proved he is stubborn and doesn't learn.

When did this change? And do you have a source for it?

One is the current IFAB rules of the game and also couple of articles and posts back fro 2021 when it was last changed (again, if I haven?t missed another change) i.e. https://www.facebook.com/theifab/posts/questions-answers-law-changes-202122an-attacking-player-accidentally-touches-the/1977884985712978/

At the 60th minute mark Inter had run 5km more than Barca. Was telling. Absolutely static football

This is real photo of VAR tonight Inter - Barca

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

We'll still probably get out of the group by beating them and Bayern at the Camp Nou but at most a second-place finish is viable at this point because Bayern will beat them.

You haven't seen Bayern's highlights today yet eh. And our "home advantage" only puts more pressure on our players since there's no confidence with Xaviball.

 

[Jay Jay]

Pol van Boekel, the VAR referee tonight, was also in charge of VAR during Bayern vs Bar?a. In Munich, he refused a clear penalty on Demb?l?, and today he made two atrocious decisions.

Man on a mission.
