Champions League 24/25

Barca moulding their defensive style on Tottenham is an interesting choice.

Shows the flaws with the philosophy, even with better plays it still is ridiculously vulnerable at all times.
I was just thinking the same. Barca so open and easy to get at. Inter are playing it perfectly atm. They are a very good side.

You can see how it unravelled for us. Watching it removed it's obviously that all it took was analysts to review our setup and then it's simple to devise methods to beat it.

Inter look like they went away watched the tape of the last game and then have come back with a few tweaks.
 
Having 3 or 4 views I still cant see how that is a pen, I just dont see the touch that VAR has seen. My eyes must be going worse

Looks like he barely touches Martinez a split second before he's on the ball. Not a clear and obvious error by the ref in the first place and certainly not a clear pen, in my opinion.

It's a bit tough on the defender but Martinez gets his foot to the ball and he kicks through it to get to the ball. Could've gone either way really but with VAR any contact on the foot usually ends up with a pen.
 
Said it for a long time that I think Inter will win it. Not because they are sensational, but because they are a bit different. They are solid defensively and deadly in transition and counters. Really hard working team.
That said, PSG - Barcelona would be an epic final. Two teams that only have attack on their mind.
