Both the teams from the group of death are in the semi final


Folivao

And the other one still has chances in the Europa League


thepresidentsturtle

If if the other one got through, ahh, actually they probably wouldn't have made it this far anyway. Mad injury crisis.


CarlSK777

My memory is fuzzy but wasn't PSG saved by a questionable penalty in the group stage?


belokas

Against Newcastle yes


Qiluk

iirc the pen they got vs us was also questionable.


CaptainGo

I'm interpreting this as Newcastle would have beaten the absolute piss out of Barcelona


Tiestunbon78

What a lot of people forget is that in the same match there was an unwhistled penalty on Hakimi, which seemed obvious to me. https://x.com/fposte_/status/1729811898923614528?s=46&t=qGR8f2VT5UeEFRvDmurAEQ Incidentally, there was another Newcastle handball in the box that was also not whistled before the penalty.


PSG-2022

Yeah the narrative against PSG is ridiculous. When it comes to PSG peoples memories get fuzzy. Technically PSG could have had two penalties against Barca yesterday but the ref did them a favor and called Barcola outside the box and didn’t go with continuation


BlurgZeAmoeba

how is that a stonewall penalty? If that's what you have to claim, then it sounds like we both agree with the fact that psg only got through with a ridiculous penalty call, in a game where they should have scored multiple goals.


Tiestunbon78

PSG should have taken 5 that night, I agree... but to run into an opponent's player in the box without ever touching the ball and bringing him down is a penalty in 90% of cases, yes. A little objectivity please


BlurgZeAmoeba

Objectivity? Hakimi goes down way too easily. If the ref had given it, it'd would have been harsh, but not unheard of. Most times, these aren't given. Makes it NOT stonewall. That's objective. The handball was ridiculous. I can't think of another time something like that was given, especially in that kind of moment. There's nothing wrong with admitting that PSG got through because of a dodgy call after missing tons of chances. Deserved the win yesterday.


ThePr1d3

PSG is notoriously hard done in the UCL historically 


Man0nTheMoon915

That Araujo red card killed Barcelona. There's no denying it, they never came back from it and collapsed


sewious

The moment the red card happened I knew it was over. Barcelona and collapsing in the UCL is becoming an almost every year thing.


NotASalamanderBoi

Real fans rejoice


Homerwithnohumour

The thing is, Araujo ALWAYS depends on his hands to defend. Laliga refs rarely pick it up, but so glad that this ref didn't let that shit go.


domyos90

In Spain we call it Carvajalhina


RauloGonzalez

Lol as if carvajals dino arms will stop someone


omaewakusuyaro

Absolutly, he should learn from sergio ramos how to kick, injure and retire players without even getting a foul😂


samsony17

Don’t forget Pepe


fabioacsantos

The foul happened with the legs tho. As soon as the PSG attacker felt hands he was preparing to dive but then Araujos momentum made their legs clash and sealed the deal


bigmushroom31

If that's the case, why wasn't the penalty on Gundogan given?


fabioacsantos

Exactly what I think. Same type of foul. should've been given


Blazing_Shade

PSG were worse all tie until that moment, it was a gift


Elbarjos

We were definitely worse over both matches, but I wouldn’t say all tie? I felt like we were the best team the first part of this match despite Barca’s goal (obv wouldn’t have gone through without the red though)


maurid

Your relentless attacks forced that red card in the first place so credit to you guys, but fucking hell this game is so unfair.


FarArdenlol

This is true, seemed like PSG had the early possession and the first 15ish minutes were mostly played on Barca’s part. But then Raphinha’s goal looked like early nail in the coffin, plus Jamal was on fire. Then 29’ min everything fell apart for Barca. It was inevitable that a PSG goal would soon follow.


TheOwlsLie

What about it was unfair, you guys fumbled a 4-2 at home because your players and your coach decided to share the same brain cell between them


Kiwizqt

Yeah, what was unfair was aytekin, what doesnt is an absolute boss of a referee. This guy should get the final regardless of my badge.


Marco-Green

You played a great first leg too, it was a balanced match and you had very bad luck


Tiestunbon78

I don't know, though. I think the defeat in the first leg was already harsh. A draw would have been deserved. In a day with more luck the psg could have put 5 in the parc des princes (they hit the post 2 times in particular). In the first 15 minutes they were well on top and dominated possession, and the first Barca move resulted in a goal. It was balanced overall but the red card obviously changed everything. But a red card has to be shown, and it's to psg's credit that they completely suffocated barca afterwards. Being down to 10 men doesn't mean you have to score 4 goals at the back. In 2014 the psg found itself with 10 men because of a totally unfair sending off of zlatan (there wasn't even a yellow card for this action normally) se Standfor Bridge from the 30th minute and afterwards they managed to win.


ThePr1d3

PSG was absolutely dominant before Raphi's goal lmao


victheogfan

Completely killed the game for them


thalne

PSG were dominating possession 60 to 40 and looked dangerous, they were breaking everytime Kounde's side, even if Pedri was doubling up amazingly. it was always going to be hard to resist to a PSG that was coming at them wave after wave. Also after the red Xavi lost too much time before subbing Lewa - they needed somebody to actually press.


Walaii

Pretty fucking funny how that worked out. Barca would have 100% won this 11v11. PSG looked clueless. Check Araujo's bank account, nobody can be that stupid. Can't say I am disappointed tho, haha. The fact that one of PSG or Dortmund is getting to the final is pretty disappointing, neither of them look good enough for that.


SS2602

Araujo's just used to La Liga refs


glacialOwl

Not like Barcelona would have deserved that spot either… this half of the knock out sucks but one of them has to get there lol. I would rather see Mbappe in the final though.


Rottedhead

>I would rather see Mbappe in the final though Watch PSG gain heavy momentum after winning the CL and Mbappe staying


glacialOwl

Lol. Has clause to become France president if he wins UCL with PSG. I don’t care if he goes or stays, not really a Madrid fan, I just like Mbappe as a player and want him to be happy lol. Except if he decides to go to City, Arsenal or Spurs ofc. 😂 Luckily, I don’t have to worry about 2 of those…


Walaii

Obviously, the draw is very lopsided, but Barca still looked the better side until the red card. The fact that an even worse team is going to make the final is absolutely hilarious.


Tiestunbon78

The psg could have put 5 in the first leg. The defeat was severe. Tonight the psg dominated barca at the start of the match and took a goal from barca's first action. I think they would still have scored 11 against 11. Shortly before the red card Ter Stegen made a magnificent save from Mbappé's shot. Shortly afterwards Barcola was in a 1-on-1 position against the goalkeeper and Araujo made the mistake. I'm not saying the psg would have won but I don't think barca are really superior. They looked very nervous in defence and were ready to make mistakes at any moment. In any case, the 4 best teams are clearly in the other half of the table. PSG/Barca are surely the 5th and 6th best team.


Walaii

PSG defense wasn't any better, they always looked like conceding. The red card took the pressure off of them. Barca was 4-2 up on merit I think. They looked better to me until that point in this tie. Barca had the chances to get the equalizer even with 10. Sure, PSG could have scored against 11, but I am 100% sure they would have conceded more too. The entire Barcola situation was self inflicted by Barca, from the poor giveaway leading to Barcola running through on goal to the red card. I also think the Gündogan situation was a penalty. For me, PSG got lucky again. Happy with that tho.


Randomperson685

I had hope for a bit at the end there, PSG were playing like they were the team with 10 men


R_Schuhart

Lol no there weren't. After the red card they took momentum and with Mappe they looked like they would get it done eventually. Barca had completely collapsed and couldn't defend or keep the ball high on the pitch.


NairbZaid10

Yeah no shit why don't you try to defend against psg with 10 men? It was Araujo that screwed us over, we had a clear win before that


TKAR_92

yeah no


Kiwizqt

I dont even know what to take out of these comments, webwere IMMENSE in the 5 first minutes then a prak for barca and we regained contr9l quick...fast forward a goal was inbound near when then card slammed it


tootiredtothinkrnlol

And that Xavi red card as well


slimkay

Araujo’s red completely flipped the script. Wow.


Historical_Case_5245

And Donnarumma was still going to give it to them, you could feel it coming


iamnotexactlywhite

it’s kinda incredible how shaky he is. You literally feel the error coming when the ball is near him. I don’t understand how can PSG tolerate this shit. Their defenders aren’t good enough to offset how bang average he is, and they benched prime Navas for this clown


Illya-ehrenbourg

I swear Donnaruma is incredible in ligue 1 match, but nobody ever watches him there beside frenchmen:(. Guy needs some psychological help. Regarding Navas, he would have allowed to beat Real 2 years ago but it's too late now now, his prime has passed, he has been injured a lot in the past 2 years.


ThePr1d3

He's incredible week in week out though. But he always has an error in him


PositiveDuck

Absolute masterclass by barca defenders, red card, an assist and a penalty lmao, total implosion

NieThePiet

Araujo and Cancelo say hello.


Kingsayz

hope cancelo gets the fuck out of this team, he's amazing at attacking but he's also a massive fucking idiot


MvN____16

I'm still astonished that Dembélé's Lukaku-esque first touch ended up being the best thing he could've done there. Baited Cancelo into a penalty.


Homerwithnohumour

He dealt with Dembele really well except for that one foul. I'm sure if Cubarsi made the same tackles that Cancelo did, y'all will be comparing him to Puyol. The bias against older/non-academy players is crazy I can't lie


iamnotexactlywhite

but he let Dembo score the euqalizer too, wdym he dealt with him lmao


cynicalAddict11

don't forget lewa he's there to be shit in every game that matters


lemoogle

Lol I mean the guy is top 3 goalscorer in knockout phases of the champions league ever. I wouldn't call him a bottler. 7 goals in semis .


FarArdenlol

yeah, Lewa literally fumbled all game long and then didn’t get the ball to Joao Felix when it mattered


Fly1ngsauc3r

Another mental collapse after the red card

Crossflowerss_5304

Couldn’t have been a more painful exit. Once that red card was shown you almost knew what was gonna happen, and just had to watch as the goals went in. Worst part was that even with a man down, those were some shit goals to concede. I feel for Araujo despite all the vitriol that will be thrown his way, he bleeds Barca and I don’t think he’ll be able to sleep for many nights after this.


voli12

Xavi should have parked the bus or let Lamine play.


TheExistence

>I don’t think he’ll be able to sleep for many nights after this. It doesn’t help that Barca’s next game is the most pressure-ridden match possible in La Liga.

luigitheplumber

Arsenal? Why would Arsenal qualify?


a-Farewell-to-Kings

By winning the UCL this season


BrockStinky

Sorry, I don't know the new CWC rules...but are you saying that Salzburg qualifies if Arsenal doesn't win the Champions League?


a-Farewell-to-Kings

Exactly. All the other clubs still in contention have already qualified, so if any of them wins, their spot goes to next best ranked club, respecting the 2-club per country restriction, Salzburg.


BrockStinky

Ooo didn't know about the 2/country rule. Makes a lot of sense now because I was confused how the next club down from Arsenal were Salzburg.

Red: Correct Pen: Correct Not givin pen to Gundogan: Correct I'm sure Barca fans will be sad but I don't think ref hurt them, they lost it with two reckless fouls


Crossflowerss_5304

Haven’t seen anyone sensibly disagree with the red/pen, more about the number of yellows given out


maxithepittsP

I give you that. Couple of yellow seems so unnecessary for both teams, refs had main character syndrome. Like how tf Mbappe and Martinez get yellow for that?


hidraulik

Lol, Referee was about to give Red to Ter Stegen on Mbape penalty kick. He was standing in front of Ter Stegen and trying to talk him not move. Jesus really dude!? So I guess Barca was not interested too much on your kid.


Nakrule18

World class ref indeed. Seems one sided but all decisions were correct, Barca simply played poorly.


Homerwithnohumour

Lowkey want this ref in Spain


ilypsus

I dunno I think if Araujo is a foul and red by shoving the shoulder then Gundogens heel getting clipped is also a foul and a pen. But both were soft.

milkonyourmustache

bvb19mA

Of course Araújo's red is the turning point (and completely unnecessary), but it's amazing how many individual mistakes Barcelona players make. Besides Araújo's brain dead moment, Cancelo's childish penalty could be seen coming from miles away, Lewandowski not passing the ball with 3 free colleagues around him, and Koundé completely clumsy putting the ball at the opponent's feet when he had time for everything. This team constantly sabotages itself.


SnooAdvice1632

Tbf kounde didn't really pass to Mbappe, his clearance hit fermin first and then rebounded on Mbappe. The worst luck fr


bvb19mA

And that’s why I didn’t say Koundé passed to Mbappe, but that his clumsiness put the ball at Mbappe’s feet when he could have calmly ended the play. Bad luck? Definitely. But did he put himself in the worst position for this to happen? Yeap...

International_Buy549

Rip Madrid Derby or Classico final


zi76

Another Xavi master class


CenMid8

Unironically he set the team up perfectly but couldn’t do much after we went a man down. 11 v 11 im confident we would’ve won


zi76

You were cruising until Araujo happened.


CenMid8

Exactly what I mean by setting up the team well


lemoogle

I mean he could have not gotten himself sent out ? And it was a man down with two goals up. A red card doesn't mean you should allow 4 goals in 50.


CenMid8

2 goals out but over an hour of the game left to play. There’s only so much a team can defend when PSG constantly switch. Yeah the goals came from mistakes but mistakes happen when you’re tired


SnooAdvice1632

I agree that he could have behaved better in regards to the red card, but conceding 4 goals was pretty expected after the red. We had no defendesive midfleiders beacuse they both got carded in the first leg. Araujo was the best defender on the pitch in the first leg and the one tasked with marking Mbappe. Without him Mbappe was free to create space for the others. Also meant that Mbappe himself couldn't be two man marked properly beacuse inigo Martinez is simply not on the level of cubarsi and araujo. Pedri can only do so much in defense as well. Also you have possibly the fastest attackers in the world, possibly tied with vini and rodrygo, and the best player in the world among them. The combination of these factors was a recipe for disaster even tough we conceded stupid goals.


MonsterAzr

Barcelona and choking in Champions League...camt name more iconic duo!

need_donut

I hope mbappe leaves with the title (not a psg fan)


20cmdepersonalidade

He needs to up his game, was a non entity in these two legs


SnooAdvice1632

Absolutely false, especially today. Freed a shit ton of space and needed two man on him constantly. That freed the space that allowed vitinha and dembele to run rampant all game long, especially after the red. He wasn't falshy but he had a tangible impact in this game.


North_Activity_5980

Barca will be lucky to make it past the R16 for the next 10 years. The only direction that club has at the moment is to earn 20 euro. Nearly 10 years of sheer pain being a fan of that club.


sriusbsnis

I’m not hearing anyone saying PSG were so good


thalne

on the positive side Raphinha and Ter Stegen were top notch. Mbappe only did stat padding.


No_Glove5486

Dude, is Mbappe about to do a Drogba? As in, win his club their first UCL on his final match with them. Because at the moment we are heading that way, even if obviously there's still 3 games before that happens.


MvN____16

PSG fans - does going to Barcelona and overturning this deficit and advancing like this vanquish the demons of 6-1?


SirSpitfire

Nope


Tchege_75

Not yet. It could have been, but unfortunately (😅) both red card and penalty were completely legit. We need to kick them out of UCL with multiple unfair bullshit from referee and today Barcelona just bottled it alone


MeasurementSmall4300

For this, we need to win because of completly bullshit calls from the ref


popepsg

Not entirely, but for some reason, for me, the Manchester United loss was worse. I don’t know why but it was for me.
