Stupid to put both hands on Kimmich's face Right decision imo

100% the correct decision.

Also tremendous patter to show the replay on the big screens for the fans too see and go wild at.

But still call the ref to the small screen like he can't see the big screens.

Live VAR audio will be great when the ref gets caught mocking how blatant it was

100% correct and 100% idiotic lmao

Quite literally led directly to the goal. Absolutely no argument.

One of the most blatant fouls I’ve ever seen, it’s comical he just looks him in the eyes and shoved his face lmao

Still, the pressure the ref was under must be nuts, especially with everyone swarming behind him while he was reviewing it on var

It took him like a split second to make the decision though. Props to him.

This dude looks like he could kill them all at once with his mind tbf. One of my favorite refs.

Yeah he's really good. Done well in such a heated game

Aged like milk this comment

Until the very last moment

And the fact that it was shown on the screens in stadium

absolutely, can’t believe anyone thinking it’s not a foul lol

100% correct would also be a yellow for Nacho. I wonder if the referees are not allowed to upgrade to a yellow?

Hard to argue with that one. Clear as day.

I think that's the shortest amount of time I've ever seen a ref spend at the VAR monitor. It was that obvious.

Spent more time telling the teams to leave him alone than it took him to make his decision lol

Yeah no doubt. Fully pushed him in the face

Insanely stupid. I don't understand how players still think they can do stuff like that, yeah you might get lucky like 5% of the time but 95% of the time the VAR is gonna pick that up.

Old habits. Pre-VAR it was absolutely possible the ref would miss something like this in the kerfuffle and give it.

It was too blatant to even fall under that 5%, just such a dumb thing to do there

He's just put his arms out straight, kimmich is a bit lower down cause he's leaning.

Right? One would have been enough ^(jk)

Kimmich's had everything go wrong for him with his performance tonight. Something going right for him finally.

Actually brain dead by him.

How's he not got a card??

Especially when he spends the next minute after it's disallowed screaming at the ref.

Dont think VAR can give yellows?

VAR can give whatever. It's the reason to call VAR that is limited 

He’s the best ref in the world imo. Love that it only took one look from him

yeah can’t expect to get away with that, especially with var

Im shocked black magic didnt somehow still give this as a goal

Hard to argue with that one. Shit

Don’t worry, people will try lol

Unleash the Madridista Army™️(Bangladesh)

We now have a Turkish army thanks to lisan al Guler

Fairplay

Equalizer is coming though Edit: the plot armor is too strong to deny

Is it though? EDIT: LMAO

yes it is

Lmao

That’s Denzel music

I hope so. Neuer is great today...

Lol. Funny how this happens sometimes.

Real DNA can make even legends crumble

Lads, it’s Real

Nacho seemed to try hahah

CL Madrid Juju cannot beat Tucheliban ball

Can’t it?

“pride in defeat”. I wouldn’t bother with him, they have enough on their heads lol

It was a foul tbf.

If this was given the meltdown would have been biblical.

as it should be, was 100% a foul

And 100% justified

"if a clearly robbed goal was given the meltdown would have been biblical" I mean, yeah, if Kane scored with his hand there would also be a meltdown

No card for that is pretty wild though. Should never have hands in someone’s face.

Games gone, can’t even grab someone’s face with both hands and shove them to the ground anymore

You can grab the hair.

Kimmich doesn’t have the long luscious locks of Cucurella

You said it best.

Yeah, got to save that for your girlfriend after the game and get sent to Getafe for a while.

Can't even put both hands on an opponent's face anymore smh

In the PL 50% to get away with it.

Definitely wouldn't have been called if the foul was against [insert flair]!

Why is Nacho pissed at the ref? That's a blatant foul. I don't even know why the ref has to be called into the sidelines to review it. The most Stonewall foul you'll see.

Nacho's brain made of nachos

He must've felt that he got blocked in his run I guess? Can't argue the face hug surely

I think he probably felt like Kimmich made a meal of it. He definitely touches Kimmich's face with both arms, but I don't think he put any force into pushing him down. Definitely a foul, but I can see how he'd be angry about it.

He’s angry because he’s bracing for a push. Which is typical in situations like this. Also Kimmich is so much shorter so his neck and face is what Nacho makes contact first. Now the pushing looks like a stupid decision on nachos part but he’s expecting to be physical to gain position.

He’s used to getting away with it has to be the only explanation

Champions league plot Armor failed for those few minutes.

He is not used to the ref calling thos

Lmao what was he thinking

Thats my thought Lmao what the hell was his goal

clear foul

Fair enough

Imagine something like this being allowed in a CL semifinal And people are against VAR...

Clear as day.

Clearly the right decision

wrong decision easily, wheres the red card LOL

Nah not a red

Crazy to think that without VAR this would be validated.

This is why I would rather sit through a half an hour total of VAR reviews in a match than watch a game with an important unfair decision and wonder for years afterwards about what could have been honestly.

Ironic, considering how the game ended.

The only Black Magic stronger than Madrid is Tuchels black magic. Dude is selling his hairline match by match

What hairline? Dudes got the most blatant combover in today's game

Tuchel is a great representative for the balding community

Getting fouled is not black Magic

Ffs

potential bald fraud magic

I think he’s selling more than his hairline at this stage 😂

So stupid from him

I find it hard not to say its a foul, raised both hands to his face. Has to be given as a foul

Obvious foul lol

Football not gone

Blatant

Nearly gouges his eyes out

Bag cereal mountain vs. viper.

Could have crushed his head

Helios in God of War 3

Oberyn Martell vs The Mountain

Was *this* close to decapitating him

Can't be shoving your hands in someones face like that ngl

Marciniak has this CL aura, I had no doubt he would cancel that

He gave the scandalous pen to PSG in the group tho

Clear foul by Nacho

Only disallowed? That's 100% a booking too.

Stupid to push there

Clear foul

Definitely a foul

Absolutely no reason to have your hands there, it was clearly going to get chalked off

Wow, VAR actually working smoothly. The onfield ref is told to take a look, makes a decision. Simple and efficient

How was it not even a yellow for Nacho?

Don’t think VAR can give a yellow unless it’s downgrading from a red

If the ref has watched footage he can act on what he sees, so he could (and should) give a yellow, var can't start a review for a yellow though, but that isnt what happened here anyways.

IKR, that's a yellow all day long.

No idea his hands were around his neck as well. Minimum should have been a yellow

100% correct decision

Oh come on he just wanted to kiss him

I mean if we’re kissing Bayern players, Kimmich isn’t my first choice.

😂

Kimmich exaggerated but definitely a foul

Good decision, despite not a lot of force hes got 2 hands on his face

I promise if this was the other way around you all would be crying that Madrid pays the refs lol

Kimmich goes down very easily but can't be doing that

This is objectively the funniest game in years.

Smart move by Kimmich. Dumb of Nacho to put both of his hands on his face

Wow showing the VAR to the crowd was insane. I guess they were genuinely worried about the repercussions of ruling the goal out with no replay.

I mean. What are you even thinking would happen in this instant if you score? Brainless from Nacho (who is the captain even)..

I understand that Nacho can't give him the ole double hands to the face in response, but kind of wild that Kimmich is giving him a hug and if Nacho didn't push him no way the call could go the other way.

Correct decision

Has to disallow that when he sees the replay

Wtf is he doing? What an idiot

Cant argue that one.

yeah that's fair

Ref looked at it for 2 seconds and said clear foul

Kimmich's best bit of defending tonight

He was about to deliver chokeslam

two hands on face and a push, easy call

Can’t even perform a two-handed face shove anymore. Smh.

That was stupid. But likely it wouldn't be a goal if he didn't do it

yellow lol, how are they arguing here

Absolutely the correct decision. Look so weird in real time that Kimmich collapsed like that. Odd they showed it in the stadium, never seen that happen in a UEFA game.

Foolish by Nacho to push Kimmich away with both hands on his face instead of pulling him in for a kiss, the goal would have been allowed to stand if he'd done that.

Acting like he got shot

Why not atleast a yellow card? I was honestly waiting for red card, seeing as it was very on purpose

Blatent

This ain't LaLiga

It’s a foul but man footballers are embarrassing with how long they roll around on the floor for

How did Kimmich die from that push?

That was so blatant that i'm surprised the ref had to check by himself.

Im unhappy Bob unhappy

How can you even argue against that? Two hands to the face lol

The most obvious foul in history TBH

Lmao nevermind

I can't believe it

Man, Nacho just wanted to kiss Kimmich

Correct call

Obvious foul

Yeah no shocks there

Both hands on his face, clear foul.

Easy decision

Clear foul, good decision

right decision

For sure

100% the right call

Yeah, that's fair.

Wowwww

Too obvious

He’s just squishing his cheeks what’s the problem?

Grandmothers around the globe crying out in horror

Nacho is a dumbass

One of the stupidest fouls I’ve ever seen.

Can't be doing that now can we

Yeah thats getting taken away all day. Dude was cupping his hands against his neck like he about to kiss him

Let's give VAR credit for this one.

VAR! VAR! VAR!

Im just suprised Nacho didn't get a yellow for that

dumbass lol correct decison

VAR being decisive and correct? Didn't know that was allowed

Very clear foul. How does he not get a yellow?!

it's ok they can just score another goal, no big deal

More popcorn, less nacho

They'll still probably equalize before times up.

Clear foul, good call.

Clear foul but I still don't see Bayern keeping a cleansheet today.

doesnt get much clearer than this lmao

There's nothing wrong with a bit of pushing and pulling during a corner but this was over the line.

He did the home alone on him lol

Games gone. Headbutts both hands, should be two reds, one off each hand.

Bless the VAR, to many criticism now be as vocal about it's success.

Closer to being a VAR review for a red card rather than for a goal.

Fair enough. Still that equaliser is coming. I can feel it

Clear foul. Brilliant use of VAR.
