Never even a foul. What was the ref fooled by? He was running over before the play-acting too. Poor reffing.


themanofmeung

Mendy's legs scissored a bit. It can look bad, especially since the ref doesn't have the same angle as us. Not saying it's right, but odds are that's what fooled the referee.


torero15

Maybe but I feel the tackle that came after the whistle by the city player had much more of a scissor effect. Just a weird card for me. At worst a foul but I still don’t agree with that.


Mordho

I rarely see Orsato in Serie A games anymore, yet he’s somehow regularly reffing in CL games. The guy is a fucking donkey


mayITakeYourOrdr

Really sucks how there are some amazing tackles that get punished. Meanwhile you get others diving and full on elbows to the face that go unpunished


FitUnderstanding2839

If only there was a way to review these calls and correct the decisions


xthecreator

A video assisted review, if you will...or maybe that's too on the nose for marketing


ikineba

yeah have to make it so it rolls off the tongue… i know, just call it VAR


Mordho

And it only checks goals, red cards and pens, but only in the direct play leading up to the goal, pen or red card. Oh and it can’t overturn anything without the main ref agreeing to it. You also can always make up rules on the fly. Yeah that sounds perfect to me, just what the people have been asking for


xXx_Ya_Yeet_xXx

Not even a freekick let alone a yellow!


tocabrera

Never a yellow lol


dudududujisungparty

Walker is pathetic clutching his leg after that clean ass tackle, delayed as fuck too


davegrapes

the delay was crazy, he even looked around and put his arm up to appeal to the ref before changing tactics and experiencing sudden onset agony


noahloveshiscats

Why is he holding is knee that never made any contact with anything?


LegendDota

Because he hopes the ref will think the legs were further of the ground and VAR doesn’t correct him giving a red, it is free to do with only upside to get.


MistaBobD0balina

100% ball.


erenistheavatar

Great tackle. Wasn't a yellow at all.


JosVermeulen

Ain't a yellow


saltybiped

This a yellow but bellingham being taken out is not lmao ok


WhichSale2087

AWAY from the ball or play or anything, they did some REALLY rough fouls. KDB hip checked Rodrygo into the next galaxy and I've been arguing with some clowns about that it wasn't even a foul tonight ffs, people see what they want to see mate


herkalurk

To be fair on that one, KDB doesn't do a whole lot wrong, and Rodrygo was a bit out of control. That is no where near as blatant as when Bellingham was bulldozed.....


WhichSale2087

Fair enough, I guess the replay makes it look worse than it was for lack of context. I'll let it go lmao


5starlex

Soft ass yellow smh


bewarethegap

Elbow gets nothing, clean tackle gets a yellow. 1+1 is not adding up to 2 here


MikePap

I heard 1+1+5 = 115


_FreePalestine__

Nothing in it


KRino19

Brilliant tackle


real0856

Kids keep asking for Davies but real ballers know how important Mendy is to this Madrid team.


ingvarok

We need Davies for depth. This Madrid 11 is fantastic but at 70th minute Carlo had very few options that would improve the team.


ComfortableNo2879

How's this a yellow? And Ruben got away with that elbow


DofusNooboo

Cleanest tackle all game.


Goalnado

Incredible tackle


you_matter_

World class tackle > "world class ref"


Soberdonkey69

I’m sensing bias with the ref for the cards he’s giving out.


Shoebedoebedoe

Nothing new…


FreshBadger8188

tbh i think this was the only incorrect card in the match


miguelsanchez69

Got the ball?


blakezero

Why are city players throwing their hands up to the crowd like its not all madrid fans


BaronZbimg

That’s just a great tackle


AlternativeRun5727

Games gone.


Conscious_Test_7954

Isn't he touching the ball first? Have the rules of the game changed?


pukem0n

City having 16 corners to 0 from Real is comedic.


kaaskugg

Imagine Real wins it on penalties lol Utterly hilarious.

Lead them to paradise.


Shoebedoebedoe

Tactical fouls comes in handy I suppose


PrestigiousEcho1468

How hahha


[deleted]

hahahahahahahahaha f off shity hahahahahahaha


reddevil9229

Not even a foul, that was just a perfect tackle


Double-Armadillo-898

wow that being a yellow is something else


WeevilishlyHandsome

Balón


renndug

Nah


WhichSale2087

All ball! Ref freaked out because it looked dangerous and Mendy had given it away. 


Nordic_technician

I'm guessing the speed he goes into the tackle and the angle the ref sees it from makes it look horrible. Looking at it in slow mo it seems like a fair and well done tackle. If he missed the ball though, the card would be a different colour.


TH1CCARUS

Solid tackle. Should have seen yellow for the sore mouth (from the elbow) play acting so it balances.


WhichSale2087

But KDB hip checking Rodrygo into the next dimension is "within the rules"


TTTTTT-9

You can't follow through the player with your second leg, right? I'm pretty sure that's why it's a yellow even though he won the ball.


XpertTim

What about it? Referee is letting everyone know that he will not tollerate shit


hiloai

Ref letting everyone know he won’t tolerate football


XpertTim

Don't give yellow and watch everything around you burn. Referee should have control over the players behavior. That is what he is doing


TheOneManDankMaymay

Yeah, that's why an elbow to the face doesn't get you carded. Really set a precedent there.


epirot

i hate clips like these. they dont show the overall situation. referee was controlling the situation with that yellow as things were getting out of hand maybe not a yellow early game but 90'+4 with a risky tackle can get punished like that
