Stand up Sadio. Never a pen there
True, although I think Matip got away with what should have been a SPA yellow there thanks to field position, even though no other defender was anywhere near him. At least the ref is being consistently lenient....Rakatic on Keita though. Easy reckless. Vidal also got off lightly for blatant holding on the advantage. 2 big decisions for Barca there.
It's probably one of those games where there's going to be 4 or 5 yellow cards in the 2nd half no matter what the referee does. So if he can avoid giving 2 or 3 in the 1st half, hes more likely to manage his way through this with 22 players on the field. Is it the best way to apply the laws of the game? Maybe not. But managing it is how you reach the top of European football and get a champions league semi final assignment.Bjorn has got his cards with him, phew
Messi jumping into the guy who pulled out of the tackle?Great free kick. Was there an offence?
