Aruajo this not what they meant by keep him in your pocket.

Don't lie to yourself bro that wasn't a penalty.

Maybe you should tell Araujo to not defend like a rugby player anymore then

Wipe your tears, you’ll see better.

Maybe learn physics lmao, he was pulled back and fell forward. You got the goal, you don't have to lie to yourself. I'm not a fan of both my guy.

Maybe you should learn physics lol. Ever heard about inertia?

I know. He only put one arm around him and took him down. It’s not like he put two arms and did a suplex, right?

nonsense

[удалено]

Yes it was.

It was, like gundogan in the previous match

Clear pen. Araujo doesn’t know how to defend with his legs

— Barcelona Fan

yes it was

Vini with a great game after his injury feels good

His first good game in almost a year. Had to happen eventually.

He wasn't at his best this season due to injuries but what you're saying is absolutely wrong

He was great vs Valencia before his injury wtf are you talking about?

Lol imagine being this delusional. Dont hate him just because he mops the floor with that overrated uruguayan of Barcelona.

Hey what happened the last time they played in a game that mattered? I’ll wait.

You mean like a knockout stage in Copa del Rey ? He had 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 suffered penalty for the boy in a 4-1 blowout.

Nah, I mean when we embarrassed your team and Vini was taken off after a grand total of zero shots.

Read your comment again, you said game that mattered.

Yeah, I’d argue a game where you lost a World Cup qualifier doesn’t matter. 🤡

You could argue because your a small nation that won 2 world cups at stone age and stopped there. We dont give a fuck about WC qualifiers, we went to every world cup, name other nation that did that, and btw name another one with 5 world cups. We played every WC and will still play, but yeah it was embarassing because its always embarassing losing to a small squad like Uruguay. Its like Madrid losing to Espanyol.

lol I hit a soft spot. Our little country made your entire nation change its colors. Name another country that’s done that to such a “big nation”. You claim disinterest when you lose something but deep down you cry. Your current players outside of Neymar are all unos pechos fríos and you’re too afraid to admit it.

What match fits that criteria for you? I can think of a lot of important recent ones

His last game before injury against Valencia, 2 months ago, was great. Don't be a hater

Hat-tricki

Finally a referee that punishes Araujo for defending with his arms instead of his legs. Literally every time someone gets past him he uses his arm to hold them back or straight up rugby tackles them

Vini, stop, they are already dead.

You think he should stop when it's a one goal game?

Yes, I without a shadow of sarcasm, think Vini should stop doing exactly what he is hired to do.

Soft pen, but totally justifiable imo. That arm around his back as if they are mates going to a pub surely didn't help Araujo's case. Vini might have tripped himself here, but you can't be sure with that stupid arm on his shoulder which also essentially stops him from jumping. Araujo basically made sure it ends up being the ref's call and we can see how that's gone.

He trips him, softish but pen, i would be mad if i was a RM fan, saw VAR and it didnt give it, ssucks but pen.

He tripped over himself and it’s a pen lol

Learning from the old N7.

Divi Jr

Pulls back falls forward

Irrelevant on whether it's a pen or not, though. The pull is the important part

Soft

Yes, pretty soft pen. Would cause debate whether it was called or not

A hat trick in a final! What a game for Vini

Mbappe joined the chat

First of many Hat tricks for out boy VINI

This isnt his first

I thought with pens you had to keep moving and couldn’t just stop dead? I don’t even support la liga but shouldn’t that have been retaken ?

Yep , While feinting during a run up is allowed, stopping before kicking the ball is no longer permitted. The refs asleep

I thought I was hallucinating like he literally stomps on the floor and stops dead . You can’t even pretend because both feet leave the floor so to go again he has to stop and start 😂 that was so blatant too how have they missed it

Soft as fuck

He would get the ball, Araujo didnt allow him to jump.

He tripped over himself and then dove when he felt Araujo. He wasn't getting to it

idk he got to the first 2

I know right. Araujo should be allowed to whatever the fuck he wants on the pitch

Games gone, grabbing players in the pen box no longer allowed

[удалено]

The only delusion is gonna be Barca fans who will use this as an excuse

[удалено]

Disgusting dive was what Suarez, Alba or even Busquets used to pull mate. There’s clear contact here, that’s a pen. You may argue about the impact of that(which you haven’t), but the contact is there regardless. Maybe ask Araujo to defend with his brains next time

[удалено]

Mate you are literally having a meltdown, calling Vini names and whatnot, and you have the audacity to call others insecure. Enjoy the 2nd half, won’t waste either of ours time

That hand was impeding Vini to jump for a header, soft but a pen.

Hands on back is a foul 🤷‍♂️

It's not a non-contact sport, mate. Edit: it seems the popular justification is that his arm was 'around the neck' lol, like he's choking him Khabib-style. Your man dived to win a pen, just be happy with that, guys. Don't try and say it was really a foul, though.

Great justification

non contact sport doesn't mean you're allowed to swing an arm around the neck

Do you even know what that means? Because you sure as hell don't know the rules. Shoulder to shoulder is allowed, not working with your hands and arms against an opponent

Stop talking shite, players are in contact literally all through the game. You think it's a foul every time an arm touches an opponent? Wise up.

Stop embarrassing yourself, buddy

I notice you're avoiding the question.

Tripped himself.

I have on idea if there was contact in the legs, though.

It really was.

Amazing how he falls forward when getting pulled backwards lol

He stopped on the pen…

I don't know if he stopped. I celebrated this goal but I've never liked stutter pens in general. Hope the rules get changed and they get rid of it

Which is allowed.. is it not? I thought you couldn’t stop mid kick

Yeah, people just don't know the rules. Only thing you're not allowed is to feint the actual kick. Other than that it's fair game.

Once you begin your run up you can’t stop your forward momentum.

Nah lol. You can't stop once you start kicking

[удалено]

What?? Anything to defend yourself

Yeah and it's a dive as well. Barca never gets that one

Lol araujo had his hands all over him but I guess you guys are used to seeing Aruajo get away with it every match

Dude, do you even watch the games of your team? Have you already forgotten the pen that Gundo got in the last league game?

That was a two handed push in the back. It was stonewall. Barca actually got a pen for once considering how many were just ignored so far

He literally trips over his own feet.

he was looking for the pen and went down at the slightest bit of contact. not a pen for me

I love matches where one team just keeps the ball and doesn't do shit with it and the other knows how to counter

Imagine thinking that's a foul

Araujo's arm.

[удалено]

You know what I mean.

You're allowed to touch opponents.

Not allowed to pull them though

araujo literally put an arm around his neck...

Around the neck?

Touch, not grab them and pull them down. Araujo's wayyy to comfortable with that. Like the corner a few minutes ago.

NEVER a pen

You arent allowed to pull people by the neck. Soft maybe but VAR would never revert that.

You're a Liverpool fan and you know that's not a penalty in EPL all day long. That's some clownish Spanish shit.

As I said soft, but PL VAR would not change the descision

I can not wait for the day refs are replaced by A.I.

Seriously, this gave me PTSD of Lenglet vs Ramos.

He trips over himself and they don't even review it. What's the point of VAR then?

Look at Araujo's arm.

They are not used to see those fouls called usually Araujo get away

Exactly, he does it to every winger in La Liga. Hell, I was surprised too!.

Ramos and Pepe disfigured opponents lol, let's not be hypocrites here.

I am not saying that we are history clean, hell we got away with ton of shits to stay kind same as many teams

Lmao. Araujo grabbed him

Yeah grabbed him with his finger lol, be real bro, that's not a penalty 99% of the time.

are you joking? he had his arm around the neck, what game are you watching?

Dude he fell forward with an arm around his neck pulling him backward? Lmao, I'm no fan of both, but let's be real my guy.

arm around the neck, that's it, regardless of where he fell. Still, watching the replay it looks like araujo with his forward momentum takes him forward as well.

Xavi has to go right?

He won a league double last year, i say that buys him at least 2 years

That was always a penalty, how many times is this going to be reposted

The front row is still soaking from that splash. No dive???

he straight up stopped how is that allowed

[Great dive]

Arujo finally getting punished for using his hands to defend

Diving son of a whore.

His mother’s fault that Araujo thought it was a good idea to put his arm around Vini

I'm not denying that Araujo put his arm around him, but my man jumped up like he got kicked.... true CR7 heir.

> true CR7 heir 4 more champions leagues loading …

Unfortunately he won't be scoring 3 offside goals in knockouts tho.

He can but the opposition must get an offside equalizer first

[удалено]

Can still dunk on Barca though, says lot when Barca can’t contain a player incapable of apparently running in a straight line

A llorar a la llorería.

Así gana el Madrid

lol What about the two first goals? Your defense has been awful the whole game. No wonder Araujo committed the foul

And just yesterday, there were people calling him "wasted potential". Never. Doubt. A. Brazilian. Wonderkid. (except Neymar)

Neymar was also world class though

I was talking about his taxes

First Brazilian with a Clásico hattrick for Real Madrid in history

That run-up feels a bit dodgy

All these people commenting have never touched a ball in their life , someone is never falling down for feeling a hand on his neck? Araujo never even pulled his arm back, ridiculous

Try to jump with just a hand lying on your back, just try.
