By the way, the referee in that Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona match was pure class.
The audacity, the aura, having control of the whole match, not letting anyone or the occasion intimidate him.
He showed it from the start that he won’t be giving cheap fouls and stood by that rule till the final whistle.
He knew players will try to get cheap fouls and he wasn’t taking it from the very start. It’s a quarter final, you will fight for every ball and won’t get a lucky freekick.
Clément Turpin!! What a man👏
Barcelona are out, eliminated by Atlético, and the scapegoating script has completely fallen apart.
After the first leg, Rashford was blamed despite Pau Cubarsí’s red card and the defensive collapse that followed.
Second leg, same story again. Eric García gets sent off late after a VAR upgrade on the Sørloth challenge, and suddenly they are down to 10 men in both legs of the same tie. Game over.
And people still want to pin two red cards, the chaos, and a Champions League exit on one loanee?
You cannot scapegoat Rashford when your own defenders gifted Atlético the tie on a plate.
Shoutout to Lookman though, the Super Eagle was cooking and played his part in a disciplined Atlético side that exposed the mess.
The Rashford narrative is dead.
Raphinha cost €58M and needed over TWO seasons at FC Barcelona to hit 24+ goal contributions in a single campaign But Marcus Rashford?
He’s DONE that already in his debut season with games still left. And this is the same player some Brokelona fans are saying isn’t even worth €30M? Make it make sense.
Meanwhile, Rashford went on a ridiculous run when it mattered most in the Absence of Raphinha & Lamine Yamal 👇
⚽ vs Sevilla
🅰️ vs PSG
🅰️ vs Sociedad
🅰️ vs Oviedo
🅰️ vs Getafe
⚽⚽ vs Newcastle
🅰️ vs Valencia
⚽️ vs Espanol
That’s 8 straight games of pure impact.
Barcelona and its fans are just ungrateful, and if Rashford eventually leaves, they’re going to regret it ✍️.
@Peguy_Certifie Il n'est pas rigoureux, s'il faut raté trois 3 aucasions nettes pour marqué un but et aucun apport défensif ni de pressing.
Je ne le vois pas du tous.
