    Real not winning it this year, imo. And they'll be lucky to get a draw at home to Barca in the League this Sunday, too.

    BUT THAT BALL WAS GOING ON TARGET. SURELY IT'S A PEN TO LIVERPOOL LIKE IT WAS TO RANGERS!!!

    Oh wait sorry just used to the rules not actually being applied.

    Huns think that wasn't a red on Kenny. Diaz tackle was nowhere near as bad and he's sent off for his two feet leaving the ground.

    Actually thought var got it spot on. Arm in a natural position, definitely not deliberate. Shearer biased as * in commentary.

    Was hoping someone else saw that


    Terrible use of VAR for me

    Yellow is justified.

    Red is ridiculous.
    They can't just go with "foot leaves the ground" when the foot off the ground didn't even hit the guy, Hakim foot comes down and goes against the guys calf, the guys calf then falls on top of Hakim foot.

    It's a foul, 100% but you can't tell me that's an actual red card!

    Agreed.

    This is getting ridiculous now. Handballs need to be deliberate for me or way outstretched. It's absolutely * at the moment

    Aye, it was never a red. No real malice in it at all. Just unfortunate that his knee, or whatever, caught him the way it did.

    First time seeing Bayern this season. They look a proper solid outfit now.

    Going by these two games/incidents alone, but add in years now of nonsense, UEFA and/or FIFA need to come out and redo the red card criteria and the handball *.

    Simplify it and make it easy for everyone to understand.

    Too many "moving parts" that no * knows and that's not just the fans, the players and refs haven't a * clue.

    Also in the PSG Bayern game, Fabian Ruiz kicks Kimmich in the back of the head when he's rolling on the ground and VAR doesn't even look at it.
