Eddie Howe at a bigger club that spends more money would be interesting.

I said it. This game is going to be fun.

Na highline go kill these ones

Barcelona should honestly go for a centerback like Kushinov or whatever his name is since they love highline.

With that front three I can see Newcastle causing Barca soo much trouble.

I have seen teams walk out before I even remember Lille players walking out of a CL game vs Man Utd but what I have never seen is a result of a game that was ended and the referee concluded to be changed weeks after the game

They returned to the game Brahim Diaz took the penalty and missed, Senegal scored a legit goal, ref ruled it was a concluded

It literally happened in our group. You didn't see South Africa 2:0 win against Lesotho changed to 3:0 lose by FIFA just last year here?

The funny thing is that something like this happened in 2018 in the CAF champions league final between Esperance Tunis and Al Ahly.

Al Ahly won the first leg 3-1 at home and Esperance won the second leg 3-0 thereby winning the trophy.

Esperance Tunis alleged after the first leg that the first leg was rigged by the ref because they gave 2 controversial penalty to Al Ahly

The same CAF Appeal decided to forfeit the first leg that Al Ahly won 3-1 saying Al Ahly has engaged in misconduct and one of their players was engaged in simulation (Remember that Esperance Tunis already won the trophy on their own merit by winning the second leg 3-0)

Al Ahly appealed to CAS, CAS embarrassed CAF by telling them to stick to their own rules that the outcome of a match is final irrespective of referee decisions, mistakes or errors.

CAS clearly told CAF it's powers are limited in altering already concluded match outcomes.

Another disgrace is waiting for them at CAS.

A very useless sport association.

Bro none of this happened lol. Maybe you are confusing yourself with 2019 when CAS sided with CAF against Wydad and crowned Esperance champions when Wydad walked off the game in the 2nd leg.

Maybe you should try to read more and not just gulping anything you read online.

The ref should've abandoned the game after the Senegal team walked off during the game but he didn't and the game continued, extra 30mins+ played and the game concluded with a final match outcomes.

Article 82 cannot cover it anymore, it was not an abandoned match anymore, it is a concluded match.

Another embarrassment is waiting for CAF at CAS, that's for sure.

A useless body that cannot properly interpret it's own rules.

Please stop, you are embarrassing yourself when it's very obvious. Senegal breached article 82 and got punished by forfeiture. They are basically telling you the extra minutes played after they came back was void.

larride:
Are you a zombie that swallows anything without context?

Article 82 cannot be invoked for a match that was CONCLUDED. Once a match is played and concluded, the result is final.

The ref should've abandoned the game when Senegal walked off, he didn't. The moment Senegal came back and the ref allow the game to continue, article 82 is out the door.

Apply your common sense please.

Bring out your source for this. The organizers are literally telling you different yet you insisting on going by your own understanding despite being wrong.

larride:
For article 82 to stand, the ref should've abandoned the game when they walked off. He didn't.

The game continued with the ref and all the players playing. The ref decision is the final decision on the pitch and the ref says Senegal won the match. It is final.

CAS will embarrass CAF once again like they did in 2019.

As you can see the ref doesn't have to end the game for it to be applicable. You have seen teams getting kicked out of competitions for breaking rules like fielding an eligible player even when they won the game. CAF did the right thing by applying the appropriate punishment.

Amigoos1:
The decision was right, just too late. It should have been made as soon as the Senegal players walked off. Since it wasn’t, making it now just causes confusion. At this point they should have just left it as it was.

Justice can never be too late. Leaving it as it is sets a very bad precedent.

larride:
It's another thing if the ref ended the game when they walked off. The ref did not.

They came back, the ref played on, Morocco players played on, another extra 30mins of game was played.

CAF own rule says nothing can change the result of a match already concluded. The game was concluded.

It was a stupid decision from CAF

That's a lie. Article 82 and 84 are very clear. I have never seen when an organization applying the rules is making a stupid decision after appeals.



Key Details Regarding Articles 82 & 84:
Article 82 (Withdrawal/Refusal to Play): If a team leaves the ground before the end of regulation time without the referee's authorization, it is deemed to have lost and is eliminated.
Article 84 (Forfeiture Penalty): A team violating Article 82 is eliminated from the competition and loses the match 3-0. If the opponent has a more advantageous score at the time of interruption, that score is maintained.

Unlimited22:
Did You also read the section about the referee's decisions on the field and his interpretation of the laws of the game?

How does that absolve Senegal from breaching article 82?

Unlimited22:
Sénégal are heading to CAS. Good.

Senegal has no case. They broke the rules and now they are facing the consequences whether it's harsh or not. If anything this sends a clear message: no team can just walk off the pitch because a decision doesn’t go their way and It sets a precedent.


From the announcement:

It is declared that the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football (FSF), through the conduct of its team, infringed Article 82 of the Regulations of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Article 82

If, for any reason whatsoever, a team withdraws from the competition or does not report for a match, or refuses to play or leaves the ground before the regular end of the match without the authorisation of the referee, it shall be considered looser and shall be eliminated for good from the current competition. The same shall apply for the teams previously disqualified by decision of CAF.

Please delete this. What does his father has to do with anything.

I have a sneaky feeling one team is going to mount an exceptional comeback and Newcastle to cause an upset. I can see us scoring thrice against PSG but no way we don't concede at least twice.

Is there a way Nigeria can get Iran spot after dropping out?

patrickmuf:
I'll put it at 70:30 owing to the inexperience of Newcastle players at this stage...

Agreed

Yamal stats from this game is ridiculously poor.

0 dribble attempted .

0 chances created

20 possession lost.

68% pass accuracy.

The penalty spared his blushes from a disaster of a performance.

patrickmuf:
At the Camp Nou, they'll face a different Barcelona. I don't see them progressing.

They have the tools to hurt Barca even at Camp Nou. Currently 60:40.

patrickmuf:
Trippier was on the bench telling his teammates that it was 3 minutes, asking them to calm down but for some reason, they thought a one-goal lead heading to the Camp Nou was not enough, they pushed forward, lost the ball and got punished.

Fortune favors the brave. With this result they will be more focused going into next week rather than trying to relax on a solo goal lead.

Knelsoon:
Is Yamala on the field?

Crazy stats, Yamal didn't attempt a single dribble in this game. Like 0 dribble attempted.

Altern8tor:
What Chelsea did with class,, Newcastle fumbled... They would be out of UCL next week... A small team is always a small team

You are comparing knockout out stage games with a pointless group stage game.

Newcastle soo unlucky.

I need Newcastle to put another.

Newcastle lead.

drisham:
It's pointless as this is a two legged tie

They'll swallow 3 at the camp nou

I am just surprised by how well they have contained and reduced Barca to few chances. Howe got his tactics spot on.

Newcastle have contained Barca from creating anything meaningful.

andrewbaba44:
They are winning the epl

They are also favorites to win the ucl after Bayern

We can’t really predict who will win the ucl ,but you see that epl ,you better give up your hate watch as arsenal already won it

All these glazing is premature. They are 7 points with a game ahead of City. If city win their outstanding game it's just 4 points and they are also going to the Etihad. If City beat them at Etihad they will bottle the league. We have seen Arsenal fumble the league from this sort of position before.

This season is soo funny. We are in March and yet no standout Balon dor contenders or even PFA player of the season.

Psg have actually dropped of from last season. They look beatable and ordinary.

It wasn’t even Pep who really pushed 4-4-2 out of England it was Mourinho. He exposed the structural weakness of 4-4-2 against a three-man midfield with his 4-5-1 and once that door was opened, there was no going back. Even Ferguson had to switch up his formation and adopt to keep up.

raumdeuter:
If the PSG of last season(most recent CL winner) play the AC Milan of 2003

Same lineups at their prime, Same tactics used when they were at their prime who wins?

I was watching Atletico vs Barcelona today and was wondering how any of those defenders in previous times will handle the types of aggressive press today

Psg would win 7/10 times. I was able to rewatch the 2003 final vs Juventus and no way they cope against the high pressing and relentless pressure of Psg tho they were quite solid defensively.
