Gonna needs some miracle to go to the finals with Ferran Torres and old Lewandoski in attack.

Even with raphinha and Pedri fit.

With baldé in the left, they gonna score one goal sure two even.

The good part is that Casado will not play this match luckly.

0℅ chance 100℅ faith

I actually do believe even though it would take a miracle. Like many have pointed out it depends on
1) early momentum. We NEED to score a goal in first 15 minutes
2) which Atletico shows up. They are a hot and cold team. Won Betis away 5-0 and then lost 1-0 on Metropolitano few days later
3) if all players are available or we suffer more injuries

and of course, 4) if God is on our side and gives us some luck, instead of hitting crossbar 15 times and scoring 5 pictometre offside goals

Yeah even if that goal was offside, taking so long to analyse it killed our momentum. Instead of losing 4-0, we may have lost 4-2 instead, which would have given us a fighting chance in the return leg.
Infuriating, they killed our momentum. We could have scored one more goal.

The referee always here to save the day for our opponent.

I expect shit like this at home also. They don't hide it anymore. They don't want barcelona to wins more titles.

That's why i don't expect a remontada sadly.

Yeah, decisions should be fast and accurate so as to not demoralise any team. It is a form of micro corruption when officials stall momentum and/or frustrate players in the middle of a game. And if they are incapable of reaching swift conclusions, just let the game go on while analysing the goal.

Another observation was how VAR took 8 minutes to reach a conclusion but only 10 minutes of extra time were added when we all know that far more time is usually added in Spanish games for no reason at all.

Very corrupt officials and it must have been so frustrating for our players.

Def should be a cut off point or decision stands.. although fans would go ballistic if that happened other way and went against Barca.

I doubt the officials knocked off time as thought Barca were going to score though.

If anything Atleti getting a 5th was far more likely at that point.

It's impossible to say, especially with hand drawn ass lines where you don't see the ball, so the frame might or might not be correct. It's infuriating and scandalous, that VAR intervenes if they're not 100% sure. But in Spain, it's another Tuesday. I don't want to know how many cups we have lost because of corrupt refs in the last 100 years.
