I thought it was a penalty as well. I see no clear evidence to overturn it.
Champions League Semi Finals (9th - 17th May)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Fred yellow card vs PSG. Got sent off later in the same game though.
Dang, Milan look awful
Seriously this level of defending from Milan is embarrassing, nobody getting close to dealing with anything.
Absolute shambles

Nevermind
Even though it was very little contact, I do think he got caught on the back of his legs (light touch). Under the rules I’m not sure that is permissible to be overturned as it’s not a clear and obvious error.
Mcmanaman almost makes me miss Carragher
Tomori's been awful.
I really don't get why the commentators are so aghast at that being overturned. The contact from the defender looked very minimal.
He's been finished for a while now.
Just a glorified cheerleader now.
Also Giroud is far more clutch in these circumstances than even Prime Zlatan who is an infamous bottler in the CL..
Inter running riot.
their Serie A coverage team is great, should’ve used them
This is the champions league Semis thread mate. The Town planning thread is , eh somewhere else
You are right, sorry
Not a pen.
The commentators afraid to admit they got it wrong so they’re doubling down. They decided it was a penalty because of “contact and a hand” but when Acerbi and Giroud tussled there was more of a “hand” but they were sure it wasn’t a penalty
Just utter clowns
Just utter clowns
Milan are playing like Leicester tonight.
Harry Kane is also the only reason Spurs haven't been battling relegation this season. Giroud has never done that for any team and he couldn't. Comparing Kane to Giroud is like comparing cake to shit. Giroud is a decent player but Kane is insane. I have seen loads of games like this where Kane holds the ball up and makes a difference. Hell it's almost every Spurs game this season. I don't want us to sign him because of his age (we don't need to worry about that anyway because he'll go to a top 4 club, which we won't be) but to act like he doesn't shine in games like this is ignoring his entire career to be honest.
How on earth did this Milan side beat a Napoli side with Kvaradona and Osimhen?
What is up with Milan tonight
How can you not show up in a semi final at home to your local rivals. Not like there's a huge gap between the teams either, they've been neck and neck in their league.

Why would it even be given?
Any chance Barella leaves Inter soon? We should be all over that if so.
Do you want a Brazilian version of the match?
There was a campaign to replace Maguire with Tomori for England. Am sure a lot of those journalists barely watched Tomori
It's a 50/50 call that should never be overturned by replays.
Simon Kjær looks and plays ancient, Tomori hadn’t been impressive either, Dzeko left him for dead earlier.
The commentators pronunciation of Kjær is criminal too while we’re at it

Ferdinand “stonewall penalty”BT commentary surprised by that?!
I usually like his commentary but he is 100% wrong on that and Martinez should have been booked
Mkhitaryan and Darmian are probably going to get into a CL final yet they were shite here. Funny old game
There was Leao, Milan are a good match up for Napoli and Napoli have been off color for the last month or so. On top of that, the 4-0 thrashing Milan handed Napoli away a few weeks before the CL tie would have also had an impact.
Subjectivity. I wouldn't have an issue with it not being given.
Lautaro Martinez has had great first touches today. Things you need to develop to compensate for having Lukaku as your strike partner.
ah, Leao missing. Of course.
The fact that Giroud is not Kane is totally irrelevant tonight. Anyone watching the game can see that. The point is, any plan to have Rashford as our Rafael Leao and our only player who can get a defender running the other way is a risky and I think unwise one. AC don’t have their Rashford today and they are fecked.
Anyway, a conversation for another thread.
Tomori looks like he has a touch of the Maguires in him to be honest. Accident waiting to happen
Napoli defended like AC Milan is defending tonight in parts. I remember on the Leao goal in one of the legs 5-6 defenders just let him breeze past without fouling.
Same thing with Guehi. These players are all different shades of average. Just another overrated English player. There's about 20 Spanish or Italian Tomori/Guehi's around.
An intriguing battle to decide which team will lose 4-0 in the final.
We should be all over Barella and Maignan
How these two teams got this far lord only knows? One of them is going to get annihilated in the final.
Dont worry, we all got it.It’s a fecking joke ffs
But I do appreciate you trying to be helpful in case it wasn’t!
Though if he wants to be pedantic, its just not called Inter Milan by the fans. The full name is Football Club Internazionale Milano
I get where you're coming from but a team that collapses this hard and is so lacking in overall technical quality isn't going to have the mental fortitude to pull such an upset but I suppose we'll see.
They didn't. Osimhen was injured.
Dip in form for Napoli, poor finishing from them/great keeping by Maignan and a poor match-up (Napoli also struggled against Milan in the league for some reason).
