Really solid performance by the ref today. Not often we say this but then again there were several moments today that had us thinking one thing while watching it on TV, before the replay helped us catch up and realise what had actually happened. The ref clearly had his positioning spot on and did exceptionally well to get so many of those calls right -
especially with the sun in his eyes for half the game.
Wherever he is, he should take a bow.

Are you serious? He was wildly inconsistent all night. Penalty for Willian, ref books him for diving. Pedro gets a red for a tackle on the ankle with studs showing, yet Bellerin gets a yellow when he does the same on Alonso. Alonso gets a yellow for obstructing Bellerin, yet Bellerin doesn't get a 2nd yellow when he does the same on Azpi.

If it works in our favour. Ref played a blinder 😊.

Jackson - worry about your own players staying upright. Rules have changed this season which will hurt you as you have a few divers plus Champ league. You were no bodies before for oil money and nobodies once it goes - enjoy your ill gotten gains 😉 interesting season for you guys as now teams have more spending power.

Where were you before the Russian invasion?
