Yanks Abroad Champions League All PBP [R]

Weah down on the ground, may be hurt on a collision. I also think he is gassed.

And yes, Weah is now subbed out in the 78th

EDIT; no real injury, he is fine

 

Weah down stretching his calves and getting subbed off in the 77th minute. Double sub as they strategize going for the win up a man.

 

Every winning team needs at least one of those

 

RM get a penalty call - harsh I think, not sure how one can avoid the natural motion of your arm down to the ground when you are falling/sliding down

 

Super harsh PK. Look at that versus the non PK call in the US/Mex game. The interpretation of handball in the box is a stain on the game.

 

Best way to avoid having that called is to not play against Real Madrid.

 

holy cow, Qarabag!!!

Uhhh... just gonna say it: Benfica wins that one if they would LET JOSHUA WYNDER PLAY

 

Champions League late matches:

Yunus Musah STARTS against PSG.
Johnny Cardoso hurt.
Clubs with YA youth unsurprisingly do not include their YA Youth on their gameday rosters. Or Slonina.

 

PSG absolutely all over Atalanta very early. Musah not really involved in the goal conceded in the third minute or in the slew of other opportunities.

 

Not sure there's a 6 in the world who would even out this match, but I know Musah isn't that man.

 

Liverpool 2-0 vs Atletico

 

PSG are actually insane

 

Barcola puts one in but called offside after a defensive turnover quickly turns into a 1 v 1. Not Musah again. Yunus have moved the ball pretty well and keeps popping up in surprising spots. Whether that's the plan or is pissing off the manager is TBD.

 

I will say it looks like PSG plays no defense once you break the press

 

PSG 2-0

 

Yeah I’m watching Chelsea Bayern.

 

Kvaratskhelia drives toward the box. Musah was hesistant to rotate over to stop him as it would have left his man wide open, but no one else stops Kvara either and he lashes one home from the top of the box. 2-0 PSG and that feels about right in xG terms. Musah hasn't stood out for good or ill, and enjoyably just chopped down Marquinhos in the box.

 

Musah is not ready for this level.

 

VAR review against Musah and that may turn into a penalty against him.

 

Yup. Musah concedes a penalty and this could be over before the half.

 

Pen saved

 

Not sure why that was a yellow on Musah. YOu want to call that a foul and penalty, w/e. How was it was yellow though?

Possibly one of the weakest penalty shots I've ever seen from Barcola though. what a guy, agreed he didn't think it was a penalty so he misses on purpose. haha

 

Musah battles Barcola on a break and manages to intercept the attempted square. Perhaps fortunate, but successful.

 

Harsh penalty. Looked like Musah was just jogging behind Marquinhos and inadvertently clipped his heel.

Musah just had a nice play shutting down a Barcola attack then holding the ball to play out of pressure.

 

Atalanta replaces its two forwards at the half, one of whom is Samardzic, which might hint at a change in shape.
