This was a Bundesliga type of chaos attacking game, it will happen from time to time to every team. We showed heart there.

Not everything worth a learning lesson or criticism about drawbacks, this an entertainment industry. Enjoy the win and don't over think stuff.
You are not wrong the game was fun, but it would have been even if Benfica won. It's a forum and I am not a fan of Franco Madrid. We should win as clean as possible, and for sure we should not celebrate robberies with VAR like a certain fanbase regardless, because that ain't fun for others. Bet some kid in Portugal is crying his eyes out. If we can't win by playing clean football is fine by me, there is always a transfer window to fix things up.
In our golden days we barely dived and we outplayed other teams regardless and got a lot of credit for that. Some teams won 15 UCLs but their "dream teams" are forgotten for a good reason. I don't want the winning mentality of Perez, fuck him, fuck his dirty trophies.
Our coach is a serial madman in a good sense for sure and I will not take that from him.

I wish this comeback was in a K.O game, so I could fully go crazy at the final goal.

This crazy game deserved to be more than a league phase game

Another W for the Super League though.

We never needed those Premier League crackers.

Obstructing him in what lol, he wasn't close to the ball and didn't have to dive like that
Sadly, every contact between a gk and player, however small it is, will be called a penalty in 99% of cases. Once he jumped over Szczeny he decided not to land on the bottom side of his left feet, but instead he bent his foot mid-air so he would land on the outer part of his foot.

It's definitely a PK, all 3 were soft, but all PKs.

Balde one was the most obvious but if he didn't get foul he wasn't going to get to the ball or do anything useful with it, pen bailed him out.

Yamal super soft but penalty.

Benfica same as balde, player wasn't going to do much if he got to the ball, but it was a foul.

Thankfully woj got to the ball before the push on the benfica player in the last minute, that led to the counter for the winning goal, that could have also been a soft PK, but how he was calling the game, wouldn't have been a surprise.
