    They really need to clear up the whole clear and obvious thingy with VAR.

    What does it even mean?

    I thought it meant VAR are only to get involved if it’s a clear and obvious wrong onfield decision? That looked a clean tackle to everyone watching there including the ref and even the comms after a couple of replays. So why did they get involved if that’s the criteria? But then again after some replays it’s a pen all day long in a CL semi so it should be given. But it’s not a clear and obvious error by the ref so * knows lol.

    Can't see any way back for Barca after that first half. Inter too wise and physical for them tonight

    Hopefully an early goal for Barca to make it a bit more exciting but think Inter have set up perfectly so far, Barca will need to do something special.

    Clear and obvious to me is something like a studs up challenge not being seen. Or maybe an attacker being hauled to the ground when the ref only thought it was a coming together.

    Not something that's so subjective

    The ref seems to not want to give Barcelona or Yamal anything tonight

    Quite a bad miss actually, decent save but should have been given a chance there.

    Aye keeper should never be given the chance to save it. But stunning from him nonetheless.

    Really enjoyable tie this. Credit to both teams. Reminds me of the UCL back in the day when I was a boy. Proper excitement.
