I think it was a fair yellow, personally, as Paulinho waited and was kicking up through the ball (from a dominant position to win it), and Alonso just stretched his leg, studs up, hip height, where he saw Paulinho kicking.That annoys me. Both players go for the ball foot up, but one gets a yellow for it.
And Alonso hit the post today as well. Been unlucky.For me Chelsea have just been the better side over 2 legs yet find themselves 4-1 down and all 4 we're silly giveaways. Those 2 shots that hit the post from Willian could have made this a different story.
I was expecting that free kick to go straight through Courtois’ hands based on his previous attempts to save Messi’s shots.

If we went there & played as we can, we would turn these over.
But that is a big 'if'. We bottled it in key areas last time.

We were dominating them last season at their place till Bravo had a brain fart. Sure I remember Gudonghan missing a sitter at nil nil could have been a different game.
I was thinking of that exactly. He is also very good at the Jesus-esque one touch layoffs, which is one of the few things that disengages the brakes on parked buses.
