Oh my word!!!!
30 mins into the 2nd Semi between PSG & Bayern, and what is the ref doing???
If Chelsea were robbed all those years ago against Barca, what would you call this ref's performance so far?
And people say there is no corruption...

Blatant pen for handball, as was the handball not given to Nunes, he'd have been sent off 2nd yellow.
{Ed001's Note - it wasn't though. The ref just knows the rules better than you.}

This proves PSG are far more than just an attacking side. Their defensive performance has been outstanding, constant pressure, relentless closing down, strong challenges, and every player fully committed to the hard work. It's no surprise they're favourites to win the UCL given they excel in every aspect of the game better than anyone else.

You don't think that the 2 handballs should be penalised Ed?
Both times, both players had their arms in unnatural positions.
Also, VAR is supposed to intervene in both situations.
The 1st because it was a possible sending off by virtue of a 2nd yellow, and the 2nd handball is clear.to see that the players hand was in an unnatural position.
{Ed001's Note - the laws of the game are on the ref's side mate. It doesn't matter what I think it should be.}

I think you need to apologize to the ref, JLC.

Jlc, a penalty isn't awarded from a clearance from your own teammate, IFAB laws, ref got it spot on. The second one was given by the linesman, not the ref. Only at half time did they show the replay to show it didn't come off the Bayern lads arm.

PSG have not been handed dodgy decisions to get to the final. They have a great manager who knows how to utilise his players with good tactics and coaching.
This nonsense that the ref is corrupt anytime an oil state club gets a decision is tiring. PSG are deserving of going to the final due to being the best team in their side of the draw.
06 May 2026 21:56:13
And VAR can only intervene in a straight red card situation, not second yellows leading to reds. You've had a mare here, Jlc.

Great goal by Kane, another outstanding season for him.

I thought the ref was really strong tonight. Not swayed by the crowd and the pressure at all. One of the best refereeing performances I've seen for a long time.

Ok.... I'll admit, I was schooled today.
I still think there is a lot wrong with those 2 scenarios, as the outcomes are just not the right calls in my opinion.
It is what it is... the time will come when those decisions go against us... and we'll all be here bitching and moaning.

JLC, all good, man. I think the ref got both decisions correct. The one on Mendes was an accident.
The other on Neves would never be a pen, based on the current rules, as the ball got fired into him by Zaire-Emery at such a speed that he was never gonna be able to avoid. Dem is the rules, man.
