🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on the Madueke incident (PSG 1-1 Arsenal, UCL Final extra time):
“That challenge on Madueke… come on, it’s in no way a foul! The lad’s gone in, he’s gone for the ball, bit of contact, that’s football!
But what the camera clearly shows is Madueke pulling his arm — he’s wrapped his arm around Nuno Mendes, pulling him down, trying to con the referee and VAR!
He’s dragging him with him! He should be getting a yellow card for simulation, not rolling around like he’s been fouled.
And this is the problem — Arsenal have been doing this all season! Madueke’s been at it, they’ve been pushing the boundaries with these theatrics, trying to buy penalties left, right and centre. That’s taking the game away from the honest defenders. No way that’s a penalty, no way. Ref and VAR got that absolutely spot on!”
Maybe I am wrong, but you know what this moment looked like to me? It looked like the referee forgot that Camavinga was already on a yellow. That's why he shows him a yellow and then turns away. Only later does he realise and turn towards him to show the red.
🔴 Thiago Motta 🇮🇹 : « Quand je jouais au PSG, un jour après l'entraînement, 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲́𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗲̀𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗹'𝗔𝗿𝗰 𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗰 𝟭𝟭 𝗰𝗼𝗲́𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀.
À un moment donné, Lavezzi dit : "𝗝𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗾𝘂'𝗶𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲."
On a paniqué et on lui a dit : "𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗣𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗼, 𝘁𝘂 𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘅 𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗹'𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶̂𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿, 𝘁𝘂 𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂, 𝘁𝘂 𝘃𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲́𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲."
Mais Lavezzi a quand même appelé Ancelotti, et quand il raccroche, on pense qu'il ne viendra pas, mais un quart d'heure plus tard, il est là.

On se regarde et on se dit : « 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺����𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 ? 𝗜𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲 ? 𝗔𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝟱-𝟬 ? »
