They were chanting "UEFA MAFIA" after we scored the second goal.
Ah that yeah I heard it during the match. Embarrasing. Maybe should have been a fk instead of goal but I don't see what they're crying about, we should have won 0-4 or 0-5.


Read in the swedish media today that a few of their players (and coach) complained about unfair treatment by the refs too.

Tbf the reff was giving us a lot of soft free kicks and why the fuck do we insist on wrestling people inside our own box, this shit can and will be punished at times in the CL. Look at the first Madrid game ffs we need to stop pissing about and defend properly.

Not really. Malmo we're getting away with foul after foul all game and the ref refused to caution/card them.

Malmo had 1 or 2 guys who kept committing fouls time and time again yes, but in different circumstances we could have easily found ourselves 1-0 down courtesy of a Pen at 0-0 and if it was against a bigger team who crowd the reff and influence games it probably would've happened

All in all the better team won, and the reff was a bit out of his depth by the looks of it but we recieved a lot of soft free kicks. I'd have been pissed off too if it was the other way around.

The ref was awful for both sides.

Thought we were very wasteful, Morata missing from a yard out just about sums up our CL campaign this season, extremely wasteful.

Having spent my life obsessing over Baggio, Del Piero, Totti, Rui Costa, Riquleme and so on, I can certainly say that Vidal is not a trequartista, move him back into the centre of midfield. He can't read between the lines the way a true no.10 is supposed to (which is fair enough considering he has never played as one).

Good performance however. Big improvement.

Malmo fans shouting "UEFA.... MAFIA..."
Sounds like pathetic Inter fans in the Moratti era, blaming refs for not winning and wasting billions on deals such as Pirlo for Guglielminpietro, Cannavaro for Carini, 15 million euros (20 years ago) for Vampeta who played two half games, not to mention the various Gresko, Hakan Sukur, Georgatos and other rubbish players they wasted zillions of Lire on.

He plays that position for Chile. Also what do you have to say about that one pass he had to marchisio?

Malmo should have been given a straight red just before the plays that led to the penalty claim. That reckless studs up tackle, straight to the shins of Padoin was as clear a red card as a ref could ask for, aside from punching someone in the face. So the series of plays that led to that penalty claim very likely never happens if Malmo receives the red that clearly should have been given.

I don't see how on earth they can complain about a penalty appeal less than 5 minutes after an extremely clear red card offence is ignored by the ref. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Aside from this. There were 3 different Malmo players who committed multiple tactical fouls like shirt tugs, wrapping up our players, trips, etc, of the sort that Pereyra was booked for (his very first foul of the game after coming on). The ref did not card a single one of those three Malmo players in the first 70 minutes. If anyone has something to complain about, it's Juve. Malmo went into the game hoping the ref would allow them to commit an endless stream of fouls to negate Juve's superior quality, hoping they'd get one of those "just let them play" refs that can occasionally be such a detriment to top teams against uber-physical, mediocre sides. They didn't get what they wanted in this regarded, and are now crying bloody murder for all the free kicks given, which clearly had to be given by any proper ref.

The ref missed a red card for them, before that penalty claim, so those clearly negate one another. If anything Malmo was given the advantage, by being continuously allowed to foul our players with no fear of receiving a card.
