Say what you will about this team, but they tend to react really strongly to sucker-punch goals. Problem is, they seem to give up at least one of those a game.
LOL. Typical Barca panicking. Can't close out a match. Yellow for Neto, and a PK. Morata scores. 2-2. 81'
There was an earlier ball to hand play on Atleti that the ref didn't even review, just saying selective VAR is bullshit
Surprised it wasn't called, but I doubt the intention. Slow mo makes everything look more intentional than it was.
It's weird how players aren't psychologically adapted to the VAR era. It's like overturning a goal paralyzed them. Like, "Wait whut? We were up 3-1 but now it's 2-1 again? Oops, they just scored."
So this Supercopa final will feature neither the defending Liga champion nor the Copa del Rey holder. Instead, the teams that finished 2nd and 3rd in La Liga last year. Cool.
As a fan I'm not adapted to it either. Even on live update they put up 3-1 then say 2 minutes later "oh no after VAR review no goal still 2-1". That's messed. It understandably demoralizes players and takes so much excitement out of the game for those watching too. Fans can't even cheer after a goal now because many goals get reversed, some for plays that happened way before the goal. That's ridiculous IMO.
Don't worry mate, there will be a much bigger collapse in the champions league, followed by assurances that Valverde's job is safe.
Finally Valverde does something right !!! Get kicked out of a useless "tournament". Except for the extra revenue lost, happy to not have to play another game. Although I still stand by my opinion that this will be a trophyless season.
Yup. Good that we lost. Given how Valverde is treating this like its a CL semifinal - fielding pretty much the best team possible - its good that we don't have to play another 90/120 minutes, especially since probably would've gotten smoked by LPB anyway.
Valverde was probably hoping we would lose tonight as even he probably wouldn't survive a 5 nil loss to LPB, although you never know with our board
