A bit embarrassed about the level of these Real celebrations here. Do they think they’s won the CL outright?

 

Yes as they know with their luck tonight they are going to win it.

 

The most detestable football club on the planet.

Llorente was so terrified man.

 

Go sit down somewhere if you're not up for it.

He looked terrified. But he struck it well and only missed by margins.  
 

I guess any pen on target is better but Rudigers and Lucas pens were poor.

The flight of the ball would have been totally different if he hadnt kicked it onto his standing foot, likely would have gone into the bottom corner

McManaman saying 'Oh yeah it does hit both feet' fuck off you scouse prick its literally impossible to tell from that replay. Talk about bias towards his former club

Almost. 
 

PSG winning on pens at Anfield. Atleti beating Real on penalties in Europe. Newcastle winning a cup.. against Liverpool.  
 

These aren’t things that happen. 
 

Atleti losing to real in a CL shootout because of the faintest double touch and a shit penalty sneaking in is peak Atleti. It’s peak underdog. 


Why do you pretend you’re anything other than a Real Madrid fan boy?! There’s no shame in it. There’s no judgement here. 
 

I mean, there is. But that’s beside the point :lol:

This format is so refreshing. It's good to see the likes of Real, Barca, Bayern and PSG make it so far for a change.

Best R16 for a long time imo. 
 

The matches I’ve watched these last couple days feel like QFs or SFs.

I’m not pretending. 
 

But they really stunk tonight. 
 

This is a week for football curses to be broken. Scenes we’ve never seen before need to happen.

Hmmmmmm. Has to be ‘clear and obvious’ no? 
 

Or do they genuinely know that it’s been struck by his standing foot? Would be almost simultaneously if so, so basically impossible to tell? Surely the ball wouldn’t go that straight and true if a double hit?!

Putting aside whether he double kicks it or not I do wonder why the double touch rule actually even exists in a pen shootout? I can understand in game because it's basically to prevent players passing to themselves and treating it like a hockey pen. Unfortunate incidents like slipping over and hitting it twice are just bad luck from enforcing this necessary law.

 

But in a pen shootout the game is dead and remains so once a pen is taken. I really don't see the benefit from disallowing a pen that is clearly taken all in one motion. Something that would never have been enforced pre-VAR.

Feels like football is at a low ebb at the moment, which has been especially true in Spain with Barcelona in a period of transition while mired in financial crisis. It's a shame that it has allowed Ancelotti, who previously had a dire record domestically, and the likes of Vinicius and Mbappe to fill their oversized boots.

It’s not clear and obvious that his standing foot has touched it, unless they saw angles that we didn’t then it’s a massive call to make.

 

I think the quality of the knockout matches has been higher with this format tbh.

Barcelona should win la liga this season tbh.

Also the penalty should be one action rather than one touch, like in tennis where you're only penalised for hitting the ball twice if you take two swings at it.

Feel like they need to have some sensors on the ball like in the last WC to definitely tell, replays are not showing a definite double touch.

 

One of the best penalty shootouts for drama but feels like a bullshit conclusion.

VAR, and PSR all doing their work to keep the status quo, and making the end product shitter.

 

It’s a shame, because if both of those were implemented in the same way, it would make things much more competitive and better quality.

VAR has done fuck but show the incompetence and corruption of the officials in my opinion.

I think if it has happened it’s after he’s kicked it rather than before. Grazed the top of his slipping foot rather it moving the ball before it’s struck.

The problem is, with the likes of VAR, PSR and the absolute disdain for match going fans, there's probably no going back.

Rules are rules.  Unlucky. 
 

nobody was upset when Mitro double kicked his pen against us. 
 

I don’t see the double touch mind. Maybe the ball moves a bit before it’s hit? The ball does move in the air in an unnatural way.  But I don’t see the contact clearly.
