There isn't VAR in the CL this season. The official behind the goal told the ref to give his head a wobble, because Di Maria had launched himself two-footed off the ground, flying through the air for about 30 yards like off Shaolin Soccer.
Fair enough. At full speed it looked a bit like Mane had seen him flying in and thought Fuck me I’d better make sure I get caught by that and made a desperate leap in the general direction.

He looked to be on his way down when he got hit, I think. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty.
Obliquely related to this thread, there is a match tonight in the Championship between two former European Cup winners (back when it was called that and qualification was difficult). It's proving to be some game - Villa currently lead Forest 5-4.
Jesus christ, what the fuck is going on with the Paris St Germain players? Are they all on the Panzerchocolat? All that manly posturing is hilarious. Are they having testosterone injections at half time? Because the American footballers they are copying probably do.
Also what on earth did marco Veratti have to do to get sent off? Even an england international in a Super sunday spectacular would have at least picked up one second yellow card. It's really annoying to watch liverpool lose a game, and have the whole thing ruined by the twattiness of the opposition.
Frustrating, that. Much better second half but had left ourselves too much to do. Neymar is some cunt, like. Big thanks to Salah, Keita and Mane for fucking off down the tunnel without so much as a glance in our direction, cheers for that lads, nice to know you appreciate the sacrifice and effort that goes into these away trips from the fans.
Can't believe Manchester United might go further than Liverpool in the CL this season, despite only scoring one goal at home in the whole group stage. And if Spurs go out too, I think it's safe to say that the bottle slammer, the Big I Am, is again rightfully on his throne as the second best manager in England.
