0-3 is a let-off really for Barcelona, and just reflected how much effort Bayern were willing to expend. Lewandowski had a lot of room to convert his chances; I'm not sure why Garcia turned his back so early, or at all; just throw your body at it.
Barcelona pressed high but the crosses from Alba were going nowhere and I can't recall any other real chances. Neuer had a quiet night.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 14-09-2021, 21:09.

That man utd game earlier was mad. I found it interesting how aside from the wan Bissaka aberration the referee was so keen to embrace common sense and allow the game to flow. A fussier ref might have sent off Fassnacht for running a full set of studs down over fred's ankle just before half time, but common sense prevailed. similiarly he was able to discern that this was a clean shoulder to shoulder contact, and not a penalty and red card
Thank god VAR didn't get involved and ruin the flow of the game. Similarly a rules addicted martinet might have taken a dimmer view of the two fouls Martins commited to prevent breakaways, when already on a yellow card. The player was convinced he was about to be sent off, but fortunately for him common sense prevailed and his team were able to complete their fairy tale victory.
Fair dues to Young Boys who played with tremendous energy and organisation. But Fuck me, the sending off of aaron wan bissaka was the only major call that the ref managed to get right.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 14-09-2021, 22:52.

Glenn hoddle seems to have become an entirely different person since his heart attack. He's relaxed and positive, seems to have abandoned his prize collection of shoulder chips, and his characteristic intense weirdness.
He seems......Happy.
Listening to him is an actively pleasant experience. I never thought he'd become one of my favourite co-commentators. He's the least Gammony UK pundit by miles.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 15-09-2021, 19:55.
