One Lyon-player straddled (dunno if the word is correct) ribery, so he was ~0,5 seconds to late, otherwise he would have had the ball

yeah, florenz didn't get an offside-goal in the second leg, right?
Like Real with new players for ~1337 million Euros? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The word is correct, but that doesn't matter. I know Ribery isn't a dirty player, nor is he one to make a cynical challenge but he did and he deserved a red for it, which he got. The place of origin of the referee has nothing to do with it.
I think a three game ban is harsh as well but once again, nothing to do with Italians, just not sure why you have to start saying it is due to Italians, just bitterness by the looks of it...
