Champions league and Europa league thread (General)

How many handballs were ignored in this match?

Anyway, the rest of the world doesn't care. They see the UEFA rubber stamped highlights, and the Russians, Qatar, Asians don't give a damn.

Je zal maar PSV fan zijn en dan het commentaar horen van Sierd de Vos na de gemiste pingel... 🤔 pic.twitter.com/HUNqDJBHtW

That is how deep it goes. Rotten to the core. Instructions from higher up.

 

This is the reason I'm so turned off by club football now. Its obvious all UEFA cares about is $$$money$$.
they just want the big clubs to keep growing bigger because it sells more shirts and TV rights in continents like Asia, Africa, SA, NA.....etc.

Why even bother having other teams compete then??!!
They might as well just mail in the 3 points and save themselves the trip

 

Siert de Vos is an Atletico fan, really dumb by the broadcaster to chose him for this match.

Off course the fact that you see more and more Dutch people support Spanish or English clubs is in itself annoying, and a worrying sign.

 

Goebbels would feel proud. UEFA inserts earlier recorded images and footage, and then pretends it is live.

 

Makes sense. Easy win for Athletico everyone! Oh and the ref is going to appear in a quarter final at least. He was that good.

 

Have to say PSV should have scored that penalty. Saying the ref made a right decision and has been a good ref is stupid, how the ******** could he not make that decision at that time? Got to build some credibility like a politician saying "I am sorry" just before elections. PSV should still be up 2-1 missing that penalty.

 

You have a point, but at the end of the day the referees were completely against PSV.
I don't see how anyone can deny that.

Just let the big 4 CL teams fight it out at the end of the year.

Yes, I know I sound bitter

 

I predict at least 1 or 2 discounted goals against Bassie Dost

#MadAsHeck

 

Brenet should definitly be considered for the coming NT list, he had a great game. This guy has already a pack of reference games in CL and he has never been called, unfair. Has been playing better than Willems last two seasons with PSV.
Hendrix has been called just because he had three good games in august against mid eredivisie clubs, yesterday he was shit, worst PSV player, showed his limits again.

Yesterday's game was a good proof that combining Luuk with a quick player along can work. I've mentionned trying Luuk with Narsingh a long time ago and Cocu finally did it. That was clearly the PSV plan yesterday : Long ball on Luuk who tries to deviate the ball behind the defenders for Narsingh to run...That almost worked, Narsingh gave problems to the spanish defence with his speed but he lacks quality and isn't strong enough on challenges neither.
Luuk-Bergwijn can be better.

Luuk-Robben with NT can be lethal but I guess we're happy with Janssen now...

 

I'm still mad at this British ref!!!

Gonna take a few weeks before I get over it

 

Atletico had a goal unfairly disallowed and PSV got a free penalty. The ref wasn't against PSV, he was just crap

 

Which goal?

Probably he wasn't intentionally against psv but read this:
http://m.soccernews.nl/news/367516/Spaanse_media_hebben_opvallende_mening_over_Atkinson_bij_PSV

Or the original Spanish reports if you like.

 

Sorry, I disagree.

This ref was against PSV from the beginning, and this whole stupid CL tournament is designed to make just the top 8 Euro clubs meet in the QF's. You have to be a complete moron not to see that

 

Only 2? I reckon it will be the first cancelled hattrick in history

 

Why even bother have fringe clubs play in the CL??
If its not bad enough that they cant afford top players, its the ref that will kill you also.

Might as well not show up. Disgusting!!!

 

What do you think of Luuk-Pereiro ? Pereiro is very dangerous. He has a technical above average.

 

Yes, a tremendous save.

I still think PSV deserved more from this game though. But that's football for ya
