Other games (2024/25)

[Stifler]

Not sure I’d have been able to control myself as an Atletico player there.

[The Prophet]

Of course it's Marciniak.

[KaKa]

Llorente was so terrified man.

 

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

Really want him to win the CL so bad. And for him to manage us. Which will never happen. But imagine how next level our shithousery would be?

Fuck him. He’s a cheat.

Impossible to tell - impossible

In terms of the double kick, don't the Champions League balls have sensors in them for the semi automated offsides, that detect when a ball has been hit so the technology is accurate?

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. 

[Unbelievable]

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.

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.

Worse than Manchester United? Or Liverpool?

[The Prophet]

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.

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

It’s not impossible to tell.

From both those angles, he hasn’t double touched it.

5000%.

 

I've lived in Madrid, the most self entitled fans going.

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

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.  

[Lush Vlad]

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?!  

[ponsaelius]

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.

[El Prontonise]

There's been a lack of slow mo replays by uefa....

[Gottlob]

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.

[Nine]

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.
