What happened? Had switched to Atletico - where a near-penalty was avoided by VAR. In the absence of VAR, most referees would’ve incorrectly awarded the penalty to Atletico

You'll probably see it during half time. The defender tried to get his hand behind his back, but the ball hit him right before it was behind.

VAR just seems like a new way for referees to continue making shit decisions.

QuincyAbeyie

I'm watching on two televisions so I've watched two studios as well. In both there are at least one who thinks it's a penalty and one who disagrees, so I guess it's up for discussion.

Schalke need to make this man advantage count. 3-1 would be a real hole.

Clrnc

Sane's freekicks are incredible from range

goon

Lol at Juventus. They’ve missed the CL boat I reckon.

Clrnc

Schalke has blown it against 10 man. Incredible

Claudius

Wow. City. The English top 3 are legit.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

He's scummy (teste-grabbing on TV?) but my word would I take him as our manager.

It's a good time to be good in europe. Barca are not in their best, Madrid and Bayern totally inconsistent, only PSG is the real threat for English teams this season. Far cry from the days where we are in UCL and the top 4 is way ahead of the rest.

The english clubs level are really high but I get so so bored watching City score for fun. They are like robots, every move is the same. There is just no joy in such football that is too good.

Pretty normal by our standards, could have been seen as a good hard working performance by some.

The Lukaku compilation is far funnier.

after these past 6 or so years it's easy to forget that not controlling a ball, wayward passing and poor dribbling are frowned upon in some quarters.

Suarez hasn't scored away from home in the CL since 2015

Today was a lot more about Schalke bottling it than about anything City did. Schalke are barely above the relegation zone in the league yet a spectacular collapse was the reason they didn't go into the second leg with a win

And Benzema is 4th on the all time top scorer list behind only Cristiano, Messi and Raul, despite his severely underwhelming performances in many seasons which should have been his prime. Not disagreeing with you that Suarez has disappointed in Europe since the treble season, just saying that competition specific stats can sometimes distort the overall level a player has been at

QuincyAbeyie

Imo Otamendi shouldn't have had the first yellow card and then City would've won much more easily.

Man I wish Simeone was our manager.

These fans want pretty football. I've watched a lot of Atletico. I cannot remember a single pretty game under this manager. If he doesn't get titles versus the billion pound behemoth that is City, you'll hear moans.

Winning 5-4. Winning 1-0. As long as you're not winning the title, you're in trouble here, and that's about money most of the time.
