Got lucky there at the end . 2 clear chances they fluffed to tie it up . Really worried about Lamine .
Result is fair. Also because no way LPB's second goal ever should've existed. 3 minutes of stoppage time shown, and goal happened in the 7th! Wtf? At that point, why even show us how much stoppage time?
I walked out of the bar knowing it was half time . Next thing I know I am peeling my head in at a corner .
Stay classy, Madrid. Barça players gave those losers a pasillo, and Mbappe then ordered his teammates not to reciprocate.
Never paid that much attention, but I don't remember the losing team ever going back and make a pasillo so the winners can walk through. I could be wrong, but I don't really think that's a thing.
Yeah, I am not familiar with the usual 'routine'. But since the teams are on opposite sides of the stage after the losers receive their participation medal, its a bit awkward for them to give a pasillo.
Agreed the result was fair, but when a goal is scored in stoppage, the ref has the wherewithal to add more time. That said, on their two goals, I didn't want to come off as me blaming Pedri for both. Modern team defense demands that dangerous wingers like Vini are opposed by 2 defenders. (FFS, thats how Yamal is defended.) I thought Pedri didn't get deep enough to help Kounde to encourage Vini to turn back. I was equally critical of Balde on Estevao's goal at Chleski, in that Balde was too slow to get back to help Cubarsi. On their second goal, i don't know why a defender wouldn't have been given the responsibility of marking LPB's CF, not Pedri. Why a defender wouldn't have spotted that and switched with Pedri, I have no idea.
Same, very much so. Lamine hasn’t looked like the same dribbling menace as last season, and it’s not just “form.” He’s been dealing with a nagging groin issue (pubalgia/sports hernia) since the September international break, and that kind of injury messes with the exact things that make him special: sharp cutting, turning, and that extra burst. He’s still putting up goals/assists, but you can see he’s not exploding past people as consistently and he’s playing a bit safer. Flick’s even said it’s something they’re managing daily and it’s not fully “over” yet. Hopefully they protect him properly because this is the sort of thing that lingers if you keep forcing it.
You're mostly right, as I looked at past Supercopa and CdR trophy ceremonies, and they have gone the way you said, the refs and losing team gets pasillos, then the winners walk up. Losing team usually stays on the pitch. Maybe this is what Mbappe is getting flak for, calling his team to go straight to the locker room. However, here in the UEFA Super Cup last year you can see runners-up Inter getting a pasillo from LPB and then lining up to give LPB a pasillo. So it's not unheard of.
Another detail from the final: The jerseys that debuted yesterday are inspired by the 0-3 win at the Bernabeu in 2005 when Ronalidinho scored 2 after Eto'o's opener. The jagged lines are supposed to mimic the path of the ball on each of the goals (I don't quite see it). And inside the neck are the minute markers of the goals. Mandriles are gonna claim rent-free etc., but they've never played a Clásico that ended with culés giving them a standing ovation... https://barcauniversal.com/barcelon...panish-super-cup-semi-final-vs-athletic-club/
Barca go through with a 1 x 0 win. But Racing should have scored in the last seconds of the game as the forward botched an easy goal. I don't get football players. He had an easy lay off pass on a 2 v 1 against Garcia but dumbass chooses to shoot instead of a side pass for a sure goal. Lucky us I guess. Crazy how often we give opponents in these situations.
And suddenly they were safe. Well done to carry on in CdR. Congrats to Racing, they look like they'll fit right into the 1st Division next season. Their stadium looked like it was rocking.
1-0 and less than two minutes to the end and a very high line that resulted in a two vs our GK , if he had passed it it would be 1-1 but thank god he shot it , nice save from Joan. but it seems we didn't learn our lesson , is it really that hard to fall back and defend in the last couple of minutes
