  1. I dont remember seeing this angle neither do I remember them showing this angle for VAR.

    Simeone didn’t have a control of the ball for even half a second when his leg hit Cubarsi

    Don’t really see the point in going over this again and again. Is it unlucky? yes. Is it a red card? also yes

  3. This angle is wild, you can even see a 200ms delay between contact and falling that’s only there on dives

    I keep saying and I stick to this forever. It is not a red, not even a foul.

    Mate just be honest if something like this happened to our player and wasn’t given a red we’d be fuming. It’s unlucky but a red.

    Cubarsi should just let guy go on and maybe score i dont understand this in first leg and especially when barca were many times down and turned around whole match….

  7. People need to let it go. It was unlucky from Cubarsi but it is still a red card because it was a direct goal scoring opportunity

  8. How the frick is that a red card?? Simeone was the one who had contact with Cubarsi and why a red card? That at least should have been a yellow card. It wasn’t a very bad tackle and Cubarsi did nothing to the player.

  9. I don’t get it. He was never in possession. Both are contesting for the ball and clattered into each other.

    If simeone was facing Cubrasi and raised his leg like that. It will be deemed a foul on the defender. How is this any different.

    Last player – yes? Through on goal – he doesn’t have the ball? When there is no clear goal scoring opportunity at all. Why use technicality here? And the ‘spirit of the game’ for the handball?

    A game changing call and it is absurd as hell.

    U guys crying about a clear foul is crazy. And it s last man so… think 3 times. It s a red.

    how is this situation a clear goal chance when even if he is alone we don’t know if he is capable to touch the ball. insane to give red for something like this. if this situation was for real madrid the ref will 100% not have even give a foul, let alone red. just look at that clear pen in the last minute with bayern, the ref didn’t even checked the var 😂

    1. Simeone does not have the ball, it even touches cubarsis hip, so technically it’s his ball
    2. Simeone sticks out his leg, bringing it in contact with cubarsi, not the other way around
    3. Cubarsi does not go for the ball or a tackle

    Not a red card

    That’s just high IQ from Simeone. He knows referees nowadays will give that a foul, let alone a red card. Well done 👏🏽

    Cubarsi is a warrior. He would go for a 50-50 tackle to stop a goal but he isn’t this type of stupid. He wouldn’t purposely foul and get a red in this play. This Atlethi Mofo is just a tricky as dude. He’s ready to bait and sell any foul or play that will benefit his team. It all worked out perfectly for Atlético.

    I am still still hopeful for a comeback! The roles are reversed since it’ll be at the metropolitano but I believe we could come back from a 2-0 aggregate deficit base on our last comeback attempt against Atlético.

    I am being hopeful of course. And even coping but the types of comebacks can really spark a momentum shift in a team that can lead them into becoming a stronger team and even winning the champions league. This is just some hopefully shit

  15. That’s a foul all day. And given the circumstances, a red card was appropriate.

    Get over it and let’s move on to the second leg. The non-stop whining and blaming referees is ridiculous at this point.

    Pau is a good prospect.
    But his lack of experience and naiveti costs us every season.

    Now this foul reminds me the penalty against Madrid, where Lucas Vasquez also intentionally stumbled against Pau’s leg.
    Kid is too naive… And I’m afraid until he gains experience to no fall for these dirty tricks, we will struggle

    It’s a red card. I hate to say it but it is. It was just a very unfortunate situation.

  18. Let’s be honest y’all it is def a foul but a harsh red. Simeone dived at the right time, can’t blame him for doing so.
    The initial yellow is the correct decision, as the lack of intention should be taken in consideration, even tho Simeone was the last man.

  19. Damn this is the best angle, in actually starting to consider it was the right call even….

    If he wasn’t there to make the “tackle”, it looks like he might have kept the possession, but the “hit” disrupts the play I think is their criteria for the call – intentional or not

    Any kind of contact with the player in that situation can result in a red unfortunately. It’s like a gift from God for Simeone.

    Really exposes how little people on this sub know about the sport. Mind boggling
