Let's not forget Garcia gave away a penalty previous match that wasn't called so if it and the one on Gavi were then we'd be down one point overall with two draws instead of one win.

The foul on Gavi, the 2nd one, was a stonewall penalty.

There was no VAR replay showing the offside the way it's done. Based on this replay it's not offside.

Yep.

One of the YT comments mention that it wasn't offside and the freekick was giving for the protests of Dembele (?).

Either way Gavi was clearly onside and it was clearly a penalty. You can go shoulder to shoulder, sure, but not shoulder to back. That's a freekick anywhere outside the box and anywhere for Real Madrid.

Even the first one had contact, and Gavi was running on the line to get the ball, so should have been a penalty. But the second was much much clearer. Atrocious decision which we can't overlook just because the referee gave 11 minutes injury time for 15 minutes of timewasting.

We badly need a stop clock in football. The time-wasting gets more and more embarrassing. That's my biggest takeaway from the game.

Didn't even care about or notice the time wasting, they could've played for 900 minutes without Barcelona making creative plays. They got 11 minutes, no need to moan. There were a lot of time wasting 10 years ago, when Barcelona actually did try to force things and had a plan and were dangerous but couldn't play because the opponents wasted time every chance they got. There were 5 mins added at most back then.

Very weak to talk about either time wasting or a potential missed penalty. Problem is elsewhere.
