La Liga | Round 30: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-1

[Richard.H]

At the end of the day their quality in midfield is exponentially better than ours. It’s currently the best midfield trio in Europe. FDJ is half the player that Kroos or Casemiro is. No proper refereeing could fix that

That was never a pen imo. The contact was very slight and Braithwaite threw himself to the ground, tried to milk it.

 

[raskolnikov]

No VAR has a look and should refer it. Can easily see why during game ref has no idea that there was a pull back.

The error is on VAR more than referee there.

Madridista ref hiding behind his madridista var at best.

You put your hands on the attacker then you are asking for a penalty.

Again this VAR bullshit shines through. When there are dubious decisions, just go to VAR and let it be analyzed.

Level of meltdown in Barcaforum every time a loss in an important game comes is toxic...
The display was overall OK, apart from the last 20 min when team looked lost
Tiny margins always with mistakes at the back, especially when RM plays with 10 men at the back and trying to long ball to Vinicious



You understand that to win a match by playing attacking football is more difficult than winning a match sitting back, right?
I don't see how that's superb,
If I were a RM fan I would be ashamed to play like that in my home ground.

The same way I was for 3 years with Valverde parking the bus to win at Camp Nou.
You guys might be happy with that, I would never be.

Agree about overreactions. Not even gonna read most of the threads.

About the setup... I personally don't believe in football ethics, but even if you try to win playing attacking football, no need to be naive about it like Koeman was today.

Yep, was incredibly stupid.

Vardridista.

 

[Barcaman]

I wasn't even annoyed at 2-0. We lose, so be it, we've done wonder to be in position to fight for La Liga considering the biggest mess of Barca in 15 years.

But when you lose this way it makes you sick. It will all be swept under the carpet soon though. Catalan media will cry instead of club making serious actions and Madridista scum refs will remain to give crucial nudges when needed giving us a gift here and there vs. Elches.

I don't think any of the penalty shouts were penalties. Would be very soft ones. The kind of penalties that would enrage this forum if it went against us.

The lack of consistency when it comes to VAR is ridiculous though.

Madrista ref could easily send off Araujo in first half for tackle on Vin Jnr as he was getting chance on goal there.

Not that simple.

Exactly. he didn't check the VAR ONCE today.

 

[pregra]

They played 20 minutes with Nacho, Odriozola, Militao, Isco, Mariano, Marcelo etc and we could barely create a chance apart from Moriba crossbar. Pathetic stuff

 

[soul24rage]

too soft for a penalty imo

Shades of 2012 and 2017
