Vini Junior is a massive ****** whilst still a superb player.

Probably a result of having Spaniards making monkey noises/gestures at him every game.

These dagos should've learnt a lesson after the armada. When good old John Bull socks you what-for, you should remember it, you swarthy foreign sorts!

I think it's possible for someone to be both a constant victim of outrageous racist harrassment, AND a bit of a little prick in his own right.

I didn't know you were a constant victim of outrageous racist harrassment?! 😉

Not a day goes by here where I don't hear the abuse. 'Beans on toast', 'bo'ow o' wa'ah'. I AM A MAN!

I have always thought that VJ has a bit of the Raheem Sterling about him.

The Camavinga red was a very harsh call. The second yellow leading to a red normally needs to be at least an orange card. He didn't even get a "last warning". My suspicion is the ref for got he was on a yellow in the first place.

To make that call with the sides level with 5 minutes to go in a CL quarter final is very strange from the ref.

I think the timing of it is precisely WHY he got a yellow.  It was obvious time-wasting.  The home side were on top, a and chasing a winner to avoid extra-time, and he was trying to slow it all down by stopping them taking a quick free kick to maintain momentum. If he does that after 25 minutes, there is no yellow - whether that makes it right or wrong, I don't know, but I have no doubt the timing played a big part in the ref thinking it was yellow-worthy.

A soft 2nd yellow for sure. I’d be livid if I was a RM supporter. Fair play to the referee for applying the rules of the game. If it was a Premier game they’d be using some nonsense for not giving the booking.

The foul itself was risky on a yellow already, the following shithousery pushed it over the threshold.

Although I do think the ref had forgotten the first yellow and wouldn't have done it had he realised.

On Irish TV, Stephen Kelly put it down to a couple of things
- Just before, the ref had foregone giving Militao a second yellow.
- the Bayern player trotting after Camavinga to draw the ref's attention, and make it seem more dramatic than it was.

champions league football is elite European football
so the 4 quarter finalists in this top tier competition are Arsenal, Bayern, PSG and Athletico

we’ve beaten 3 of them in the last 12 months and haven’t played the other
we are Ace

We'd beaten Atletico as well, the bunch of cloggers, given half the opportunity.

We are fucking ace.
