I am actually worried about the referee in the return leg and I am not kidding. We were playing at home and they got 10 bull$#@! calls in the first and almost double of that in the second. We got a goal wrongfully called for offside, Mandzukic got a yellow card for being fouled and Khedira got a yellow card for both him and Chiellini getting fouled in the box. We were really sharp in our chances and Buffon saved us a couple of times. But if the refereeing continues this way (and I expect it to be worse in the return) we need to have a night just like last night to get through.
Yes, I promised myself not to talk about the ref pre-match but the things ref did last night is to take into consideration.
How can you book Khedira and not book Neymar?
Why was Mandzu booked when he was harshly fouled?
Cuadrado's goal that was cancelled for non-existing offside on Khedira.
And many other bull$#@! calls...
Like i said in the aftermath of the PSG game... and people were calling me a Napoli style crier.
Guys, the danger is real. This is not about me being a whiny bitch like the lowlifes in serie A. Barcelona has real power on the pitch with referees. They can push them to the extremes and make them call nonexistent incidents and no one will defend us.
Take a lok at yesterday, the amount of bullshid calls. If the game was in the camp nou..someone would have gotten a red card.
I just hope that after what happened againist PSG, the ref will be extra cautious to not repeat the same thing and in fact do not fall into their traps. SOmething like reverse psychology.
The only thing we can do is to play an unreal game, score a couple and just overpower them and the referee. I think its the only way.
barcelona are way too cheaters.
