What a joke. They get by far the most help from officials in the Champions League.

I thought it was a brilliant decision. No flies on that ref.

What a joke.

It's fine to say that with a still image but it's a lot harder for the ref to see it with them moving forward at that pace, that tackle takes place over a few yards and is over and done with in a second.
 
Fair play to City, they've not folded up and died like we did when going down to 10 against Madrid last year.
 
Mou was right. That barca team isn't anywhere near the one 2-3 years ago. They look so toothless without a moment of magic from Messi.

Dear lord, someone with a sensible view on refereeing!

But the ref's are supposed to pick up on that stuff though Joe, if it was against United, I'ld be seething. It's City, so it's all good

Different situation. Ours was towards the end of a 2nd leg. Also Barcelona have had a couple of clear chances to be well up now
 
If anybody is watching Bayer - PSG there you could see a ref out of his depth.. He has to be on the Sheiks payroll.. This has to be one of the worst refs in the cl..
 
Only winning 1-0 would be a disappointment in the circumstances. Always a chance City could score first in the Nou Camp and level up.

Of course they're supposed to and you're right, I'd be upset if it was United too, but it happens so quickly and the ref has to make that decision quickly, they can't be expected to get it spot on every single time.

I think at the end of the day if you bring someone down like that travelling into the box you're asking for trouble.
 
They should be out of sight by now. Barca need to turn the screw.

1-0 will make the next leg awesome, so kind of want it to stay that way.
