Ball crossed the line, there's no doubt about that, but his behavior was shameful. Should we all leave the pitch against Switzerland when only Brych thought that wasn't penalty for us?

Not to mention that he wasn't so righteous when ref awarded Real that penalty against Juventus...or when they scored against Atletico in the final from offside...or when he scored from offside against Bayern...

Robertito was too good, he had to be nerfed for the sake of the plot.

Guess stuff like that is the price if you play friendlies against a selection of hillbillys from the Pyrenees...
Anyway it's Lewy's fault, if he ranks those irrelevant NT games higher than the club that pays him 20+ milliions a year and depends on him. Our season is basically over with this, Müller's 40 goal record will remain unbroken and France Football finally has an excuse why they'll award Ballon d'or to anyone else but Lewy.

Ok, Madrid are equal to Liverpool now, without their starting CB partnership.

Regarding this match: Who needs a Rolls when you've got a Benz? I'd be surprised if Real doesn't already decide the thing in first match, even if Ramos and Varane aren't on board for the match.

They still have the firepower to wreck things up unlike the Casablanca.

Just to keep talking a bit, I always had this fantasy, of Real playing with 3 CBs and 2 WBs/SBs...BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

Madrid's last 11 CL games without Ramos: 3 wins, 8 losses. And of those 11 games, Varane played in 10 of them.

Their defence completely falls apart without Ramos. Without Varane it's even worse. The last important game I remember where neither of them played was that awful 3-0 loss to CSKA Moscow.

This has to be the match with the two most injured teams I've ever seen, lol. Both sides have had a historically bad injury record this season.

I guess Agente Spasić would suit them well now

I have faith in this formation though (supposing that Zidane is gonna stick to the 3-4-2-1/3-6-1).



I'll bring back Woodgate and Júlio César Santos too

Imagine spending over a billion on various players, paying millions to the CAS to undermine the Financial fairplay and then still have to pay the ref as well:

Scandalous decision but no surprise after the last years. Guess that if you have to live in a shithole like Romania, then some Petrodollars are worth manipulating a game.

How's that not a simulation?

Don't know but the main problem is: How can you blow the whistle directly after that situation and not let the ball go in. At least here in Germany refs have the concrete order to let the play continue in such a situation so that VAR can decide about it afterwards. It would have been a joke if VAR had given a "foul" here but that the ref simply stops that is simply a scandal.
Btw, as I said before:

Pep Most overrated coach ever, he needs to steal against the 5th Bundesliga team
Fortunately Bayern or PSG will rape him in semifinal.

Was about time that the actually showed some scoring skills after missing already as much chances as CR7 missed in his whole Real career
