Football really is just a game of moments. We score this and we’re 3-0 up inside of 25 minutes at the Metropolitano, instead Fermin gets a bloody kick to the face, game pauses for 5 mins and Lookman scores at the other end.

Yep this was the moment the game turned around. It certainly wasn’t over after Atletico’s goal but they were lucky to catch a break at this point. They really were shitting themselves for a while there.

its point blank range, he should be scoring that.

What a ball from Lamine, he should have scored that

100% agreed. I think the last 2 eliminations in UCL have shown that while this team has a lot of spirit and fight in them, you also need to know when to calm down and have a level head and take fewer risks.
It feels many of those moments could be avoided with a bit better psychology of game. Knowing when energies are going down and we need to transition to a different state of play.
Atletico has shown this in the two eliminations. Last year it was Inter.
The good thing is that players naturally gain this experience as they grow up.

This is the shit that pisses me off. This save and the finger tip save by Sommer are crazy ass saves.
Meanwhile Madrid plays Bayern in 2024 and Neur has a brain fart.

This chance, two of olmo’s chnace, rashford’s chances in the first leg, so many what ifs. And that’s the reality of the game
Edit: first half->first leg

And the same thing happened in cdr too, that lengthy review helped them organize or it might not have ended 0-4

I think this was on yamal
the pass was great, but very risky in terms of contact and space
should have played it safe and cool

Here’s something that confuses me. In a recent game there was an instance where Gerrard Martin clears the ball and in the same swing accidentally catches another player with the studs, the ref goes straight red card. Here the keeper gets a touch to deflect the ball and then accidentally puts his studs in the face of an opponent, arguably a much worse outcome and yet no action, no review. Don’t get me wrong, I do not think this should have been a foul or anything as it is obviously accidental, but in the other case they argue that no matter if you get the ball or if it is by accident, the player is still responsible for his leg/foot. Then logically the same should apply here? Things like this just makes the inconsistent rulings so obvious, I’m starting to believe there is actually no rules on foules and they just make it up as they go.

We were suffocating them, and they got a bloody timeout. To win big games, you need either a little bit of luck or a small favorable calls from refs. We got neither.

It broke our momentum along with his nose
