Boateng

No one said he does. And the WC Messi was great but far from the 2015 Messi.

Maybe. But it's easy to say that when he does find a way through. It's possible the only difference between Messi last summer and Messi now is that he scored two goals today and didn't score any in the Final.

 

[Arnau]

Damn that was undeserved.

0 shots on goal bitch

 

[fender]

The way Messi turned Boateng inside out.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

0 shots on goal bitch

None were on target, but there were chances. And I said it several times, but the result was not undeserved, just the scoreline.

Without Neuer saving your ass, it could've been 3-0 in the first half, so you can't really say it was an undeserved. Maybe 2-0 reflects the match a bit better, but still.

Lewandowski chance was better than any of Barcelona's first half chances

And without Rizzoli bailing you guys out and bottling another hard decision it probably would have been 0-0, you scored only because Bayern players minds were still on the injustice

I wouldn't say that either, but I do think we were the better team from the 45th minute until the 77th minute. The third goal was poor concentration and probably shouldn't have happened. Messi is Messi, I can't begrudge his brilliance.

 

[Mus]

I think the main fuck up was from Bernat and Schweinsteiger? Both players were appealing to the referee less than a minute before the goal

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, there were some guys out of position because they were bitching.

If the game is stopped and Neymar is rightfully sent on his way that Messi goal doesn't happen imo then because of that

Come on, it's not like we haven't seen refs stopping a quick FK before just because they wanted to book someone. If he wanted to book Neymar he wouldn't give a shit about Neuer taking the FK. He probably realised midway that he already booked Neymar like 6 mins before. I sill think not sending him off is the good decision, because not only it would have been undeserved but it would shake the whole balance of the game and maybe the tie.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Follow the rules, then.

 

[Dytza]

That goes both ways, because Neymar wouldn't fall without Rafinha's hand.

 

[Arnau]

You are all a bunch of haters.

He should have been sent off BEFORE that incident, not sending him off at that moment was an absolute farce, but not unsurprising from the weak-stomached Rizzoli.

Players escaping certain expulsion and subsequent suspension from the second leg because the referee doesn't have the conviction to follow through with his actions also shakes the whole balance of the game and definitely the tie

Also, based on the sample of the game, Neymar would have fallen even due to the contact of Rafinha's shadow passing him

 

[Arnau]

That was a clear penalty.

Do you know who was much worse than Rakitic? Thiago.

 

[Dytza]

He should have been sent off BEFORE that incident

Uhm, why?

 

[Mus]

Uhm, why?

He'd already been pulled up for diving without punishment twice, was yellow carded for a challenge then proceeded to go on a tirade of dissent in the referees face which could have resulted in his 5th potential yellow, the last dive could have been his 6th

Even if he got half the yellows he deserved that's still one more than a red
