Need a late goal in this Chelsea game for £650.
It ain't happening.

It doesn’t matter what direction the ball goes in, he deliberately played the ball therefore it’s onside.
The defender played the ball mate.
I’m not going to criticise Simeone for his pragmatic approach, they’ve gotten to a few CL finals and are top of the league so far.
However, they’ve been playing like this for years and haven’t won a game of connect 4.
Considering the money they have spent (admittedly €126 of it is on potential with Félix) they really should be doing better.
They have some top players, the best keeper in the world IMO too surely he could achieve more by having the likes of Saul, Lemar, Correa et al off the shackles.
I know they are missing Trippier and Carrasco who are big for them going forward, along with Jimenez who is a rock, but still.

Steve Clarke is applauding this performance.
Deserved victory for Chelsea, Madrid never even looked like getting close to Chelsea’s goal.
I'm sure it was against Porto at Ibrox where the ref pulled up one of their players for a foul throw after the guy stole half the bloody pitch and he got the third biggest cheer of the night from me. I don't know why but it really pisses me off even when we do it.A foul throwThis referee loves his job

VAR is taking the fun out of footie
Called it
A lot of European teams struggle to throw the ball properly I’ve noticed at Ibrox, in dry weather too.
Baffling, I remember the incident your talking about and I’m sure it was Porto, but there has been that many the ref just lets go.

VAR just ensured a crucial and perfectly good goal wasn’t disallowed.
Gave us a penalty we weren’t getting otherwise too
So rarely given despite happening a lot

I thought it was an entertaining enough game. Not an outstanding or brilliant game but by definition not that many can be. Disagree with other posters criticising the Ref for his attitude to players; thought he showed great patience as they mumped and moaned and complained about everything. Koke in particular was never away from him and seemed very keen on getting opponents booked. FFS he was mouthing off during the VAR review which the referee had feck all to do with.

Take the second highest paid employee in the league is Diego Simeone.
Bear in mind that Griezmann is on over 800,000 Euro's a week.
Simeone is not worth the money they are paying him.
No way, he’s on more than €800k per week?

The game never had any fun - if you were looking for that you would have tuned out long ago and watched the Bayern game.
It did however give Chelsea a rightful goal that the officials wrongly had chopped off so the fun would have went down a level (if that was possible).
Surely not

€42m per year, highest paid coach in the world seemingly.
I just found that out, that’s a staggering amount of money. No wonder Inter never went after him.

The defender clearly played the ball, it did not deflect from him or hit him. He very deliberately played; he did not mean it to go that way because he made a mistake but he deliberately played it. It is a bit like excusing a dreadful tackle that results in a penalty because the defender did not mean it.
Googled it too after the comment and that is genuinely unbelievable. Is that the second largest salary in world football?

Yes.
Has to be, even Ronaldo is only on £28m per year.
I am genuinely astounded at that, a guy who’s won heehaw as well.
I wonder if i could get his agent to do pay negotiations in my work
Should be a straight forward conversation

Nothing yet, been close a few times and can bore you to tears
When can he start?”

Nah, Liverpool were becoming a spent force by the time they played that game.
They had just been beaten fairly comprehensively by Watford, knocked out the FA Cup by Chelsea and barely scraped a win against Bournemouth.
They were so far ahead that their stumbling didn't matter in the Premier League race, but they could have had a nervy run in if not for the CoVid break.
Chelsea will manage their way through this tie.
