La Liga | Round 7: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-3

[George_Costanza]

Zidane made a smart sub at the end of the first half playing Lucas Vazquez. He owned the right side in the second half with no answer from Cowman.

Just seen substitution times...

It was the kind of penalty you give with the rule book in your hand, but more often than not you see it as part of the game and let play on. That's the problem with VAR. A lot of football is played at the edge of what's allowed and what is not, especially at set pieces where you see pulls and pushes constantly. And if you start to monitor everything, you can find many potential pens almost every game.

I will look forward to the next shirt pull that is not given. I reckon it will happen at least once in the next Madrid game at some corner. If I look at all corners during a game, I promise I find at least one shirt pull.

I agree but Legnlet should know better

Im at a loss, people at r/soccer calling it a stonewall pen, and those people usually aren`t big fans of RM, but for me as a RM-fan, its a joke decision and not a pen.
You see that stuff in every game, are we going to have 3-4 pens every game now?

And after this people, I can't even get out partying because there's a curfew from now on 😖.
Who else has a curfew at 9pm in his city?

That was an incredibly dumb mistake by Lenglet. Zero awareness. With VAR reviewing everything now you don't make those type of mistakes. The margin for error is extremely small now. The penalty changed the entire game. Another thing is the length of time Koeman took to react after the penalty. Way too long.

 

[Altomonte]

Koeman should instruct his defense not to pull any shirts in the penalty box, in particular not against RM who own La Liga VAR. It was not even close to a chance for Ramos to score, the shirtpull was completely unnecessary. Lenglet should be punished, removed from the next start to learn what not to do.

 

[Devils]

Fc Barcelona is a disgusting club.

Should be ashamed of themselves!

You were partying during COVID? You can still party, just sleep over. That's what I used to do when I was too lazy to get back to my dorm lmao. I'd find some closet or couch and just nap there for a few hours.

Guys we are bad, really bad. No way to put it any other way or hope for any coach to fix this shitshow. The sad part is RM themselves are not good this season either. The bright spots are the youngsters Fati, Dest, and Pedri. We are paying massive consequences for horrible squad planning in the last 4-5 years. Our best hope is to try our best to keep the youngsters and hope to build a team around them.

Also, I may not watch as many matches this season. This is clearly a development season, don’t think anyone in this forum should expect this team to get any trophies.

 

[Morten]

We weren't that bad, especially in the first half and a good part of the second half. It was one of those games like the we that we thrashed Real Madrid a few years ago at Bernabeu, the score doesn't do justice to how the two teams performed in the game.

Koeman clearly has issues when it comes to making subs and making changes to the game.

Real Madrid was extra motivated, especially since they lost the last two games and we hadn't been great at Camp Nou for a long time (in terms of el Clasico). We will beat those shitface next time at Alfonso or whatever their training ground is called.

Its named after one of the greatest players of all time, show some respect!
Oh, and its not Alfonso.

No disrespect at all, I simply don't remember the name of your ground, nor do I care to remember it.

Alfredo Di Stefano stadium, thank you very much, its a name any fan of football should know by heart.

All I remembered was the Alf part I guess.

Di Stefano or CR7. Who do you have as the better RM player in terms of legacy?
