Think the problem was that Hughes didn't really grab him, just a weird whack. Without a clear pull it's one of those where the original decision usually stands. Didn't help that Longstaff never looks natural going down.

Comparing one of the most successful clubs in France to a club that has a Friendship Trophy with Sunderland listed in their honours.

He's must of done

Clear offside, long live VAR!

Just watched them all. Last one is the worst, especially when Taylor indicates that Young played the ball which simply isn't true and a clear error for VAR to fix. Reyna is also close as Young goes through the attackers leg. Handball is from close range, don't mind if those are not given but wouldn't have any complaints either if that was given against us as the handball takes away a decent chance to score. It's honestly shocking that they didn't get at least one penalty and can understand why they are furious.

They don't have goal line technology though. https://tribuna.com/en/news/fcbarcelona-2024-04-21-tebas-tweets-antigoal-line-technology-articles-after-yamal-nogoal-decision/

It’s the only big 5 league that doesn’t have it, apparently too expensive.

WTF ref

Roma 1-0

I prefer it this way, the top elite teams will qualify to CL every year in any case. Taking into account the 5-7 placed teams in Europa and Conference almost equally makes a lot of sense considering they are usually the ones taking that potential extra spot.

Walker was embarrassing on the goal. Bellingham clearly behind the halfline but he has his arm up. Then plays Vini onside but raises his arm. Ball watching and leaving Rodrygo alone and again arm up right away.

These quarter finals have been absolute class, tomorrow should be fun.
