She broke my heart, So I broke her jaw.
It's not. The element of intent does not exist. And Mascherano's hand was positioned in a normal position for any player that does a sliding tackle. And as I said, Barca had a hand ball call too.
Intent is not necessary for handball. Never has been. It always comes down to the official's interpretation of the rule. Ball to hand is routinely given if it's egregious like Mascherano's was. His handball legitimately ended an attack. If that's outside the box, it's given.

That's a gut punch for Barca. But hilarious. Going from needing one goal to force ET, to needing 3 to not go out, in a split second.

Should've been a red for Neymar, he does that way too often when things don't go his way.

That's not what Cavani does, Cavani works a lot, miss a lot of easy chances and then scores an impossible goal.
He also misses a lot of chances that no other player would have, but his hunger and obstination gives him that exta 2 meter range

This should be a fun last 25mins. Barca are the worst losers in football.

Why Neymar wasn't send off? If someone made that challenge on him, 11 Barca players would be around the ref and then the ref would have send that player off.
