![Vfynn_'s tweet photo. 🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on why the rules in the UEFA Champions League seem inconsistent whenever FC Barcelona are involved:
“Listen… I’m sitting here watching these two pictures and I’m genuinely asking myself — are we watching the same sport or is there a secret rulebook that only gets pulled out when Barcelona are playing in the Champions League?
Look at the first one. [First picture] Involving Dembele and Davies where the ball hits his body, flicks up and brushes his arm. According to IFAB’s own handball law: if the ball hits another part of the body first and then the arm, it’s generally NOT a handball. Clear as day. But what happens? Penalty to PSG. Straight up given.
Now flip to the second picture. [Second picture] Gavi is literally hits the ball directly to the goal post in the box, an Atletico player is flying through the air, arms everywhere, ball hits the hand in the middle while’s trying to intercept the challenge… and silence. Nothing. Not even a look from the referee. Play on.
Same competition. Same competition stage. Same handball rules supposedly. But somehow the standard changes depending on who is wearing the Blaugrana.
Why is the rule suddenly flexible when Barcelona are involved? Why does the interpretation become stricter against us and mysteriously lenient when others do the exact same thing — or even worse?
I’ve been in this game a long time. I know referees are human. But this isn’t human error anymore. This is selective application. One team gets the “letter of the law”, the other team gets the “spirit of the game” nonsense that conveniently goes against them.
Fans are not stupid. We see it. Year after year in the Champions League, the rules feel random… until you notice the pattern. When it’s Barcelona, suddenly the IFAB guidelines grow legs and start doing gymnastics.
Keep the same standard for everybody or stop pretending there is one.
This is why people are angry. This is why trust in the game is dying.
If it was your club, you’d be fuming too.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HHDx6lbb0AAogLu.jpg)

If this was Gerard Martin or Cubarsi then it’s a red card and the death penalty
For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never set foot in Coachella again! I'm so proud of them #Strokeschella
