Champions League Games | Semi Finals | 29/30 April & 6/7 May '25

That's a good tackle since the birth of football. Without VAR it isn't a pen, only when you look at it forensically is it a pen.
Didn't touch the ball though, again Martinez was looking for it but it makes up for VAR forensically disallowing an Inter goal for offside in the first leg.
 
Watching this game and PSG shows just how much we have to improve to get back to this level again.
Though neither team is playing as well as Guardiola City at it's best.
Frankly think it was really bad luck City didn't win at least another 1-2 CL titles over the 2018-24 period.
 
Does anyone know what happend between Inigo Martinez and Acerbi after the penalty goal ?

How can it ever be a good tackle without actually touching the ball?

I mean for Christ sake, a last ditch tackle is precisely that and a risk. If you don’t touch the ball and wipe the attacker out it’s a foul.

I’ll ask you two questions..

Does the defender touch the ball?

Does Martinez dive?

If the answer is no to both it’s a pen.
