Diego Simeone had to deal with missing two of his starting midfielders (Cardoso and Barrios), two of his starting center-backs (Pubill and Hancko), and his starting goalkeeper (Oblak), and still managed to beat Barça over two legs.
That’s FIVE (5!) key starters. Yet we still have to hear nonsense excuses about the referee and the pitch.
When they win, they’re the best team in the world.
When they lose, they’re still the best team in the world, but it’s the referee’s fault.
What happened to giving credit where it's due?
A reality check is needed.
🚨 DISGUSTING.
Mohammad Mohebi scores and immediately does the finger-gun shooting gesture straight at Iranians waving the Lion & Sun flag in the stands.
Not a celebration. A direct threat.
The Islamic Republic’s puppet on the pitch just showed exactly who he serves and it’s not the real people of Iran.
🦁☀️ 🇮🇷This is war on the flag of true Iran.
