I'd ask why MDM makes that tackle. But instead I'd ask why was he even playing.

at least he cant play the 2nd leg

LOL!

I think Messi was offside, but I haven't see a replay.

No; he was onside.

 

[Damocles]

Wasn't a foul on Navas and Messi's was close enough to the box that you can't blame the ref at that pace

 

[mardon85]

Don't blame the ref. Wasn't a foul on Navas, def pen and def red card. Just incredibly frustrating that that was their first real chance, and now they'll probably get a couple more now.

Please explain how the fowl was outside the box and a penalty is given because he falls into the box.. Is the a new rule.

Demichelis should never have started the match anyway especially with the game lescott had vs Chelsea

Messi was half a yard offside, and the foul was outside the box. Red card (though shouldn't have been needed as Messi was offside) and no penalty

 

[Plaything of the gods]

Demichelis fucked it up because Pellegrini fucked it up by playing him. WHY FFS??????

 

[Blue Haze]

Fuck sake so angry. What the fuck was MDM thinking. He had lost his man he should have left it to the keeper to see if he could save the shot not hack him down from behind.

Indeed. You never do that in the middle of a match.

Should have conceded the goal, far less damaging than playing an entire half with 10 men against Barca. Now we'll probably concede more, and our fitness levels will be fucked for our next league game. Madness by MDM.

even if it was only a FK given he'd be red carded.
