Imagine what he could in the hands of Simeone. So much shithousing potential wasted
It will be very satisfying if we can go a goal up early and then just play them at their own game for the rest of the match, going down for everything, pulling up with cramp, concussion sub, whining to the ref at every decision not in our favour. I honestly think they would implode.
Its culture. They have this perception of football as art - as theatre. The theatre is about the acting, the drama, the play. Its like bullfighting - its not "sport" its culture, theatre. The performance includes passionate deception as one of its core elements of entertainment and guile.
Here we go again. If that was not given on the field, no way VAR would have overruled that. Go down easy, get fouls your way.
Soft as shite, he barely touched him. He was turning without any pressure
Except if our players go down, easy or otherwise, the moron just lets play goes on. Cuneyt Cakir the second we have today.
It's a pen and bruno is stupid but this cnut set his stall out by not giving rashfords blatant trip.
Play Spanish teams and you're playing the ref too.

It's a penalty all day. Bruno pulls his arm around and holds, holds, holds it. Clown.
Complete dive.
Its not a pen by the line he has reffed beforehand. + he goes for the dive with his leg which is not natural to fall.
Stupid by Bruno, but it’s very soft. It’s a dive really as he actively tries to dive with his leg.

It's not, he was barely touching him when the player started swinging round...
You've had 4 pints too many.
Absolute bullshit decision. No way that gets given in the PL. Balde is a prick schooled in the Barca school of diving - the refs will buy it every time.
It shouldn't be a pen but Bruno also shouldn't be doing that anywhere near the box, it was stupid of him too.
It's not given anywhere but this game.
Gave him the opportunity to throw himself down while trying to hook his leg
Barca will buy the refs every time
Bruno was a complete idiot for the penalty but the ref has fallen for every soft foul Barca manufactured tonight.
This thread is bumped almost to mask the fact that we've been shit for 45 mins against Barcelona.
Yeah the pen was soft but you could see why its given. Should highlight Brunos daftness or sancho playing like hes drunk for half a game more than issues like this.

If that was down the other end and not given the lads saying it wasn't a peno to Barca would be screaming blue murder. Soft yes but have seen them give before it was foolish from Bruno
It's actually mad this can repeatedly happen
How exactly does the player fall? Hardly call that a trip.
Pen wouldn't have been given in the Prem. Unfortunately, this isn't the Prem.
No Premier League team gets that penalty in Europe, that’s the point. It’s always a Spanish side that get those decisions. It’s as soft as it gets.
Nar mate.
Bruno’s not even holding in any way shape or form the moment the muppet dives to the floor like he’s had his legs swept from him. You won’t see many PL fans calling blue murder when a ref inevitably says “get up you dickhead”.
I get bored of reading this against every Spanish team we face.Was same with Atletico last season and Sociedad this…
We've had about 4 absolute clear free kicks not given and he couldn't wait to give them a penalty for that
No wonder no one bothers watching their league
Silly by Bruno but soft as anything. I don't think those two ideas are mutually exclusive. You don't want to give these refs any sort of chance within the box in Europe. You just don't. Our team have to be a bit smarter.
Apparently all Barca players have to do is drop to their knees instead of contesting the ball and they get the foul. Wish we could get that same treatment.
Absolute bullshit pen.
Feels like United being on the wrong end of a decision against a Spanish team in Europe is up there with my family and school in importance of growing up.
Let us all remember the one they got away with last week, whilst they get a pen for that at OT. You almost have to laugh.
This was my argument. What action calls him to fall other than diving?
it’s one Bruno would be diving and protesting for every time
No argument about the penalty it was stupid by Bruno but so annoying how they get a free kick everytime one of them falls over with the slightest bit of contact
And he would never be getting it.
Very soft penalty given what happened to us last week.
Soft but absolutely idiotic from Bruno. Gave the ref a decision to make from a situation that was going nowhere.
