I am sure they are pandering to the South American market and have to have a Spanish team in the final. Hope it is a Monaco/Juve final.

I'm not saying it's fixed but why do these decisions always tend to go for Barca/Real rather than against them.
It's been an embarrassment to football. The sport has no integrity when a match is ruined by the very people who are employed to ensure it's played fairly.
Do we call Ancelotti a fraud now for failing to take Bayern to the promised land?
Nah, that was some really game altering clusterfeck of a ref job. If it would be one wrong call, ok, but given the standart Karsai set with the send off of Vidal, there have been at least five wrong calls by either him or the linesmen. That is just too much for a game on this level.
Mate I honestly don't think the mans happy. He probably spends half his time fuming that he's not as rich as bill gates.
I genuinely believe he has issues and for all his success is a insecure as people come.
Maybe I'm wrong but I work with people for a living and can see all those traits in him.
Sad realy. All that talent and not happy.
Juventus is in for a hard time tommorow.
Two more seasons.
I'm putting 20 quid on 5-1.
"These decisions even themselves out over the course of a season."
Suarez against PSG.
@Mihai My mistake, I stand corrected. Yeah, we need video technology urgently. This was the best leg in a long time, until Vidal was sent off incorrectly.
But let's not be down, there's Monaco vs Dortmund tomorrow
Real Madrid 3-2 Bayern (Ronaldo hat-trick)
3-2 Ronaldo hat trick
Every dog has his day. I urge you to watch him 1 vs 1 with Robben from this game alone, and then watch him vs Salah from last season. He has no natural defensive instinct.
They're definitely anticipating a Barca-favoring ref, I have no doubt.
He rested in the weekend alreadyRonaldo not being subbed
Game should be replayed with all the mistakes the refs made... lewandoski wrongly called offside in perfect goal scoring position , Ronaldo offside goal, not giving a red card to a real player for a foul and giving one to Vidal for not fouling... whole bunch of bad calls this game .
Oh well...
Oh well...
He's the only one I actually feel sorry for.Don Carlo
B******S.
No he didn't get mauled by Real like Guardiola did. 4-0 I think that game was.
Everyone can see Bayern got done by the Referee today and were the better side
By god I don't know why, but that fact is undeniable
Or you call "Pep took over the champions and Moyesed them".
The point was they were going to sub him and he shook his finger "no" so they changed it
Oh yeah! That one was legit to be fair. The second and third were ridicolous decisions though. Coupled with the Vidal decision.
That will only happen when Barca or Madrid start to routinely suffer from these decisions.
The same way they could spend what they want until England got the money and up popped FFP and every attempt to limit the spend on transfers.
GET LOST MADRID! WORST CLUB IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Real Madrid 4-2 Bayern (Asensio)
4-2 Asensio
They do. Three for Barcelona against Paris. Three for Madrid against Bayern. Three for Barcelona against Juve tomorrow, three for Madrid...
Anyone but Real now please.
Papa Souare is not happy with Pique
So it's likely to be Real, Atletico, Juventus and Monaco in the semis? All Madrid final again perhaps?
Nah, the pressure on them to do it will be too much now.
I can't remember a single big game I have seen when Spanish sides dint get the help from the refrees .
Was (very narrowly) offside too.
Probably just offside.
But these aren't easy decisions in real time.
Video technology is needed.
7 straight CL semis for Real Madrid, pretty solid that.
Was working tonight so haven't seen he game, but Real Madrid are so weird. They win all the time, but every time I see them it seems like a massive struggle. When last did the win a game proper convincingly?
