The Point is. Its not even close to a Red card and even if it was . Arbeloa had a fault the same or even more dangerous at 1st half and only get yellow. and what about 2 penaltys of Sergio Ramos. Joke rly United were superior to Real on both legs and had best chances of both games we deserved to win this . i think Real is adapating new tatic like barcelone 4-3-3-3 to win. ..........-.-
As Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane:
Quote
"In my career I would think 'did I give the referee a chance to send me off?' If I did, then it is out of my hands.
I think that is the right decision. It is irrelevant if Nani meant to do it. He should be aware of the players around him.
Does he think that he will have 20 yards to himself?."
Also, here's another quote from the
RULE BOOK Quote
A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
Advantage should not be applied in situations involving serious foul play unless there is a clear subsequent opportunity to score a goal. The referee shall send off the player guilty of serious foul play when the ball is next out of play.
A player who is guilty of serious foul play should be sent off and play is restarted with a direct free kick from the position where the offence occurred (see Law 13 – Position of Free Kick) or a penalty kick (if the offence occurred inside the offender’s penalty area).
And you seem to be forgetting the disallowed goal on because of the non existent foul on RVP
Then there's also the handball from Rafael that wasn't called.
I will admit errors were made against both sides but explain to me how United were superior at home?
The possession, accuracy were in favor for Madrid (along with a few others)
In the end, Madrid simply did more numerically. They:
Held the ball longer (Manchester with 37% to Madrid’s 63%)
Took more shots (23 to 19)
Were more accurate (36.8 to 43.4),
Were stronger in the air (43% to 57% of all aerial duels)
Had a better keeper with 9 clean and critical interventions
Passed the ball better (84% to 72% along with Ozil having nearly the most passes and a 98 percent success rate)
Scored more (technically 3 goals ; ) )
Passed the ball more (581 to 346)
Had more long balls (70 to 49)
Had more tackles (18 to 23),
Had more interceptions (13 to 12) and much, much, much more.
