Same shit, different day. No matter if LaLiga or the CL. They get away with the majority of scenes like this in their favor, while other teams get a penalty for less.

It is actually genius. His left hand near the body stopped his outstretched right hand from hitting the ball.

Or he just held it there in case his first hand isn't enough to stop the ball, you never know. And why shouldn't he, it's not his first brazen handball that goes unpunished.It is actually genius. His left hand near the body stopped his outstretched right hand from hitting the ball.

What are you talking about, Pafos-Villarreal is the best game today.

Faster yeah, but it's not like Pedri is slow either. Better in the air is a consequence of him being taller. Better shot and finishing ability is very arguable. Pedri usually creates chances but when he has to finish one he's pretty good at it too. He has a very good catalogue of goals outside the box
No argument that Bellingham is a great player but Pedri is still much better than he is
Bellingham can indeed dribble and create chances but not even 10℅ as good as Pedri in that regardregard
Last season Pedri was clear, season before that Pedri was struggling with injuries

It absolutely isn't.
Zlatan and Haaland are much taller than Ronaldo, Lewandowski and Cavani but these players are much stronger in the air.
Falcao was small but a beast in the air.
All massive exaggerations. Many Barca fans here say Pedri is slow. None of them are Madrid trolls. 10%? Really?
It really isn't. Bellingham's goalscoring instincts are elite for a Midfielder. Everybody knows that.

I agree being good in the air involves heading technique. But it's not like Jude is some beast in the air. He scores headers sometimes and they are often pretty simple. And it's normal for a player that's reasonably tall, it doesn't mean he's exceptional in the air - or that Pedri if he had his height wouldn't be scoring same those goals.It absolutely isn't.

Barca fans are also often much more cruel than Madrid trolls about our own players. At least on this forum. Pedri is neither fast nor slow, his speed is normal and not one of his weaknesses. 10℅ yes, Pedri is on whole another dimension to Jude when it comes to chance creation. I'm sure there are stats that would agree with me on this but it takes only watching them both to realize. Jude has good passing and final ball but he rarely creates something truly lucid and creative, out of nothing. Pedri does that every game
Jude's instincts are good and certainly better than Pedri in that regard but we were talking about finishing, which is where they are probably very close or equal
