Was that fireworks outside the stadium or just my stream :lol: The commentators didn’t say anything about it.

So, why is this offsides when the ball seemed to last touch the Shaktar player? Because the Real player was in an offside position when the initial shot was taken?
Doesn’t matter if it touches the Shakhtar player.

This is a subtle tweak on the Manc mate scenario. Good to see them keeping it fresh & topical.

Because he was blocking the way of the goalkeepers view.

That means even if he wasnt touching the ball, he was interfering with play.

No because Vinicius actually made a fake move with his foot, which made GK to react to that. Instead seeing the ball. He might have saved even the "own goal" without the Vinicius fake.

Totally different situations and circumstances. Sneijder and Robben were already quality before going to Madrid. And Perez wasnt running the club back and there was no Zizou being the manager. Club politics and stupid upper management did Sneijder and Robben. Just typical Madrid. Jovic at best is just a Inter striker like Lukaku. He wont win anyone feck all.
I used to think otherwise but Jovic needs a wake-up call. Zidane will not give him many more opportunities to cement his spot in the starting eleven.

We agree he needs to have a tougher mentality. Talent is there, psychological approach is not. MUFC scout asked me about him a few years ago, I already found him somewhat unprofessional off the pitch.

Still think he can turn out better than some recent well-established strikers like Higuain.

Gotcha. He was clearly interfering, just thought it might have been negated due to the deflection.

Gotcha. Thought the deflection off of the Shaktar player might have negated that. Thanks!

Porto are a bad matchup for City, Marega will run in behind that defense all day and they know all the dirty tricks in the book

Sule misses a really good chance for Bayern.
