Referee stole 3 points from Barcelona.
It was a good tactical battle of two top coaches
Psg ; plays next with B team, 3 star attacker without.!!! So reef was very tolerated the players, that mendez was not for red card. Psg destroying and shows that barca is not big team. 👊😁✋
Both teams played very well. If not for Barcelona misused their chances via Olmo and Ferran Torres plus Defensive errors and that offside goal, PSG would have been whipped out.
Enrique learning a thing or two from what maresca did to him in the CWC final 😂😂.
How beautiful football can be 😂😂😅
Both teams played well. Its been so much highlighted that PSG didn't have 5 first team players. But its also that Barca didn't have 4 starters.
Rather the game mainly got decided by the fact that PSG had better substitutes, who did not let not having their first choice players, very much, on the other hand, Barca being broke can't even replace their top CB in Inigo by another quality CB, then forget about subs in other areas.
Mendes initial yellow card was unjust, a shoulder to shoulder tack unwarrant no booking whatsoever.
12:33 for him it’s a red card..look at this clown talking about second yellow but completely skipped how nuno got his first yellow..it was a clear shoulder, and even its a foul according to this 🤡 no refree gives yellow in this scenario ..
Ur delusional…you analysed well but second yellow for nuno? are you serious. it was a foul but never a yellow
And the red card for De Jong???
Barca fans in the comments…CRY MORE!!!
Barcelona miss messi⋯no pressing tactic can control him⋯
Ruiz made the foul not mendes he said it to the players
Beating three players is not a breathtaking performance many players do this on regular basis, kvara, due, doki, musiala, hakimi, Mendes. Winning match with a team is a breathtaking performance. And you are dishonest not even mention of dejong should have gotten clear red stepping on nuno Mendes achil. And first yellow on Nuno was nothing worthy yellow
11:52 Its not 2nd yellow card for Nuno Mendes, its 1st yellow card for Jamal. For his simulation.
You speak about the ref, but not about the De Jong red card. Are you frustrated by the Barcelona defeat ?
Let barca feels how its feels to win by referee.remember d barca wins againts psg? 6-1 thanks to referee.
How come you didn’t mention the heinous tackle on Nuno? Dejong should have gotten a red for stomping on his ankle and not playing the ball at all. Also I’ve seen other angles where it doesn’t look like Nuno touched Yamato at all and he went for a dive
Why didn't you talk about De Jong's expulsion in the first half and regarding Mendes' second foul, he didn't touch Yamal who clashed with Fabian, but you are biased
PSG didnt want to put their strength on offensive pattern that is why they refuse to play into the depth.A kind of let's defend and attack together.avoiding gap between lines
The yellow card for Nuno Mendes was a joke, it was a shoulder challenge. De Jong should have been sent off for his tackle on Nuno Mendes, according to the rules.
I believe you make vitinha uncomfortable by relentless pressing or forming a cage around him everytime he gets the Ball half of the job is done. He is the one connecting all dots.
every tackle is not a yellow card. mendez second tackle was not dangerous , was not cycnical. he put his foot in to win the ball but was a second late. its a foul. worthy of a penalty . no yellow card.
micheal oliver ..not good enough.
Nice video. But don´t forget wy Nuno Mendes should go out with second card. But Frenkie de jong should got red card in the first half. Maybe the referi knows the the first half error. An huge error.
Hey man. Neutral here : De Jong out for his tackle on Mendes would have been consistant with a second yellow card for Mendes. As it turned out, there is no fair way to complain.
Don't forget Barca did a come back at Paris under xavi with mbappe and dembele 😂😂😂
The Reefer was very good. If you think this was red card this is your choose LoL😉. But the reality there was mendez point was to touch the ball okeey. In england if is point to the ball never gives yellow card. They now how to tolerance the big players like mendez. Psg was with B team next.. and gives lesson to barcilona how should to poay in Champions league.🖐️🤘🏽👊
