great match indeed, 1st half at least :thumbsup:
i remind a kick by de jong on xabi alonso in WC final with a yellow card when it should had been 3 red cards :o :rofl:
yes, i remember that scene. i think the ref (was it howard webb?) was afraid to impact the match too much and made the wrong call for it. that was a clear red - much more brutal and deliberate than this one though.
i can see where atlético fans might be coming from if they feel hard done by the ref, considering that several tight decisions went against them, but i don't think that any of them were blatantly wrong tonight (which is surprising, because siebert is usually a pretty shitty ref, who just this saturday missed a blatant penalty call).
anyway, always great to see simeone lose and kloppo win.
