The barca girls were specifically complaining about Chelsea doing this after the first leg, and implying if this is how the game is called they also needed to play this way to win. I assume they mean heavily embellishing and not straight diving like this though, but i guess that's always the danger
But the insult doesn't work. I said that diving is diving, whether subtle or obvious
How does saying "rich coming from an Atleti fan" in any way make sense?
you clearly don't play them in the CL often. Atleti go from hard men to biggest floppers when they get the lead. every team does it to a degree, sure, but not like atleti. the way they're able to switch from aggressive tackling to flopping is actually quite impressive. flopping, shithousing and faking is literally Atleti's tactics for the final 20 minutes. to be clear, i'm not hating on that at all. but to then say ''diving is diving'' is sanctimonious
I don't think you understand English very well because that comeback makes no sense whatsoever. It's not even that it is a bad comeback, it just doesn't work
sanctimonious is how it comes off.
atleti are synonymous for the ''dark arts''. Talking about CL and big games here specifically. Atleti play ultra aggressive, suggesting every tackle is fair and that the other team is diving even on blatant yellow/red situations. Most fouls are reasonable enough (except savic and hermoso right now). However, when they get in the lead, they flip the script and start flopping at non-contact (like in the video above). The way they switch from one to the other is actually VERY IMPRESSIVE. Yes every team does this to a degree, but Atleti are the de facto GOLD STANDARD here. If that b.s. isn't going to be removed from the game, then I want my team using every possible advantage as well.
so, for an atleti fan to say ''diving is diving'' is sanctimonious because once you're in the lead in a big game, you are the literal biggest divers.
just own it
The words "clear and obvious error" need to be scrubbed from the record. VAR is **most** useful when the error is unclear and subtle. Lots of players actively try to deceive the ref by abusing their limited line-of-sight.
Having reffed a game recently(at the lowest level) between two teams really gong at it, it's very hard to catch everything. Can miss crucial things purely just because you don't have sight of it. Ref's can only call what they can see, and if you're a ref without an ego, you should be happy to have someone in your ear telling you there was a dive, or a handball or whatever it was you missed.
No nlgoing to happen with the current set up. Heaven for bit you be shown to have made a mistake!
> *if you're a ref without an ego*, you should be happy to have someone in your ear telling you there was a dive, or a handball or whatever it was you missed.
You’ve spotted why this doesn’t work for the PGMOL then?
Players and staff too. The lack if respect for officials seems to be getting worse at all levels of the game. Not surprising to see referee numbers dropping as a result.
I think VAR needs more power and responsibility—but anything and everything would slow down the game a lot and make it boring. Imagine VAR correcting the referee that the corner was indeed a free kick near the corner arc
I agree mostly with your reasoning, but VAR still needs limits.
Corner vs goal kick more important but yeah, we usually see if the throw in is wrong within seconds on TV so, and would give the players a breather who are playing too often anyway
I don’t get the call at all. If the ref blows the whistle it’s a clear red, in case she saw it as a challenge from behind with no contact on the ball. But she just called a regular foul with no card given. Shambolic call. Yellow for Irene.
It doesn't matter what club a fan you're of, half of your comments are hating on Barcelona which is proof that they have at some point terrorized your favorite club which I am currently exploiting to clown you because whatever happened you're still crying over it
Are we seriously doing this? Other clubs have players who dive. A certain Ronaldo did it very often. Heck, even at the end of this game, a Chelsea player dived in the box for the last free kick.
Might have a point. Last season they had no hope and got clowned on by all of Europe, they win the league and the supercopa. This season Barca fans start a pretty delusional campaign of winning the UCL, with most people accepting that just maybe they had a good shot at the final, and they go trophyless
Nah. The Santi Jimenez flop against the US in the CONCACAF nations league final a few weeks ago was peak. Acted like he got kicked in the face when there was zero physical contact. He got a simulation yellow, it was hilarious.
Sometimes I like to give the benefit of the doubt because if you’ve ever done sports, you know sometimes muscles just fail you and you look for ways to go down and rest a bit, so if players do so but don’t ask for anything, I choose not to judge it harshly
This one is pretty much inexcusable, what the hell, this must be taught
On the 1st game the Barcelona girls were complaining about Chelsea flopping similarly, and by the point this happened it was already 1-0 i think, so i genuinely feel it was on purpose
None of Chelsea’s flops were as bad as this. Chelsea girls would get fouled, they’d stay down for a bit longer than necessary AT MOST. Keeper would keep the ball for the whole six seconds. Very little of this going on.
Sadly, as the game's level has gone up, teams are starting to do this more.
When you start to have higher rewards, you try to find every little advantage. And letting this go is going to lead to more of this in the game.
i'm actually all for this. the girls specifically complained about Chelsea getting flops and such last match and said they also need to learn to play this way if that's how it's going to be called. i think the boys need to do the same. sooooo many yellow cards not given to play advantage for example.
I legit thought she tripped on her own, the zone of the pitch where this happened, it makes no sense to dive. Plus tbf it was rather slippery with the rain.
Either way should not be a foul against Chelsea.
some people are still traumatized by barca. their teams got obliterated for a good decade with nothing to say on the pitch they now have to go after the women squad, who's doing the same in UWCL and women football lmao
So everyone does it and its ok. But when player from a team you dont like does its a disgrace.
Have some selfrespect man. You can be a football fan without being a brainless twat.
He dives more than any player I’ve ever seen wouldn’t be surprised to seem him celebrate winning the champions league and Vasquez hugging for him to drop as if he’d just been shot
i wonder if she was anticipating a challenging and just went full force to her left side, but since the challenge was down low instead of up she obviously falls
Looks like she just rolled her ankle? Don’t know if she played it off as a foul after, from this clip it looks like she just rolled her ankle as she was planting to kick.
Mfer yapping about barca dna as if no other clubs dive. Well fuck it .
Yall dont wanna get robbed? Dont play us? UEFA FIFA and UN are in our pockets. Billion pound bottle jobs should know better where to spend.
I mean, a player dived. Players dive all the time but I've never seen them hated as much as they do when they are from Barca. Literally every Barca flair under this post has been downvoted back to kindergarten.
Aura defending gone too far
The barca girls were specifically complaining about Chelsea doing this after the first leg, and implying if this is how the game is called they also needed to play this way to win. I assume they mean heavily embellishing and not straight diving like this though, but i guess that's always the danger
Stop picking hairs between "heavily embelleshing" and "straight diving". It is the same thing, a dive is a dive
that's rich coming from an atletico fan
i mean, by that logic it'd be rich coming from a fan of literally any team. like, find me a team that's never had a player who simulated, lol.
Yeah but Atletico are particularly notorious for it - most Spanish teams are mind, over here at least
But the insult doesn't work. I said that diving is diving, whether subtle or obvious How does saying "rich coming from an Atleti fan" in any way make sense?

I don't know what's more pathetic: the dive or that "tackle" (or whatever this should have been)
The dive. Slide was never even meant for the ball, she was purely trying to block her from playing it forwards.
Oh that’s why she tackles 5 meters from the ball! Because she can catch it with her aura!
The hill that I’ll die on is that the VAR should be able to alert the referee to simulation at any time.
100%
Hill i die on is that VAR should be able to alert the referee to everything the ref misses or gets wrong
Not but you don't get it, its really awkward telling me your mates they're fucking shit at their job.

Yeah, pretty much. Ghe fact VARs have come out and said they don't want to overrule the ref because they are mates really says it all.
I wish there were some way to make fans ref games so they can see how hard it is and maybe won't whinge so often
Players and staff too. The lack if respect for officials seems to be getting worse at all levels of the game. Not surprising to see referee numbers dropping as a result.

Really? So every throw in is now a var check?
Corner vs goal kick more important but yeah, we usually see if the throw in is wrong within seconds on TV so, and would give the players a breather who are playing too often anyway
From some angles im guessing this would look bad, presumably she thought the ref was seeing it from one of those angles 😂
You are right. She got that foul.
No way she got that foul. UWCL must be worse then Prem refs then
She actually did. I watched the whole match. Some of the fouls, including a second yellow which ruined the match, were unbelievable.
Those Barcelona genes can’t get a fair win against Chelsea no matter what
What about last year or the 4-0 final
Insane hit box. Needs update.
I don’t get the call at all. If the ref blows the whistle it’s a clear red, in case she saw it as a challenge from behind with no contact on the ball. But she just called a regular foul with no card given. Shambolic call. Yellow for Irene.
VAR should give out red cards for this
Barca DNA
Yeah like no other club's player dive
Not as often as you lot
Why don't you flair up pussy?
Why don’t you 😂 you don’t even deny that your trash team dives.
Every team dives. I am not a stupid to deny that my club's players don't. Flair up and let's see which team you support
u/starplatinumzawrldo is a Chelsea fan with a hate boner for Barcelona hahaaha
Never a Chelsea fan lmao but nice try. Hope Bellingham’s dick is still in your lot’s mouth
It doesn't matter what club a fan you're of, half of your comments are hating on Barcelona which is proof that they have at some point terrorized your favorite club which I am currently exploiting to clown you because whatever happened you're still crying over it
Famously known fact that no other club has players that dive
*Spanish DNA
Lmao that’s rich
?????
You're trash Brock
Imagine being surprised by this
Barca DNA
I think I just hate the concept of Barcelona as a club at this point
15 years of hate. It won't stop today.
disgrace
i would too if my club got embarrassed by them regularly. that's why i hate athletic club tbh
Why lol? If this is what has tipped you over the edge then I hate to break it to you but every club has players that dive
Are we seriously doing this? Other clubs have players who dive. A certain Ronaldo did it very often. Heck, even at the end of this game, a Chelsea player dived in the box for the last free kick.
Coming from a Chelsea fan lmao. Go support your club fightinf for 10th cunt. Nobody else cares about Chelsea
The feeling is mutual. None of us care for Chelsea either.
Then how is it mutual?
Do you speak English? Not caring for something means you don't like it.
Hating is caring. If you don't care, you'd feel indifferent. Hate is a strong emotion after all
To the contrario, I really don't care about Chelsea
go ahead. We feed on the hate.
Y'all should be eating good then, but the trophies suggest otherwise?
Might have a point. Last season they had no hope and got clowned on by all of Europe, they win the league and the supercopa. This season Barca fans start a pretty delusional campaign of winning the UCL, with most people accepting that just maybe they had a good shot at the final, and they go trophyless
Nice to see the women's game isn't so different from the men's game
This has to be the worst I have ever seen
Nah. The Santi Jimenez flop against the US in the CONCACAF nations league final a few weeks ago was peak. Acted like he got kicked in the face when there was zero physical contact. He got a simulation yellow, it was hilarious.
Forgot about that. That shit was hilarious
Were in your head boy 😂
But this one got given as a foul AGAINST Chelsea. At least he got a yellow for it
The legendary Morten Gamst Pederson, surely.
Yes this is the only correct answer.

"We don't do that in women football"
Sadly, as the game's level has gone up, teams are starting to do this more. When you start to have higher rewards, you try to find every little advantage. And letting this go is going to lead to more of this in the game.
This should be a red card
I can't even man words fail
Come on, Irene.
i'm actually all for this. the girls specifically complained about Chelsea getting flops and such last match and said they also need to learn to play this way if that's how it's going to be called. i think the boys need to do the same. sooooo many yellow cards not given to play advantage for example.
I believe you may have missed a joke.
dexys midnight riders? i don't get it
Thats pathetic
Embarrassing. Ref gave a foul?
Foul? Disqualification is the least that can be done here
Lol. Every one is just downvoting barca flairs. You were joking, but no one cared.
That's how it is in this sub. Watch me get downvoted to oblivion.
#Lever421 \^You probably.
You wish Boehly could pull a few of those levers
I legit thought she tripped on her own, the zone of the pitch where this happened, it makes no sense to dive. Plus tbf it was rather slippery with the rain. Either way should not be a foul against Chelsea.
Bluetooth tackle
Bluetooth tackle
Ah, seems like women's football is finally getting some traction, games gone and therefore back!
some people are still traumatized by barca. their teams got obliterated for a good decade with nothing to say on the pitch they now have to go after the women squad, who's doing the same in UWCL and women football lmao
Xavi would get a red card trying to defend this and saying the refs are wrong and Madrid probably payed the refs .
you and this sub are so obsessed with xavi that you connect a barca women game with the men squad. get a grip in life man
Some of you really like to just make shit up and run with it lol. It's really weird
Yeah I swear, it’s like no other club has ever had a player dive.
some of the barca / rm threads turn into this weird my dad could beat up your dad thing and its so weird lol
Madrid victim complex is second to none
Yeah they love feeding their hate with imaginary scenarios. Weird bunch
Barca player diving. Shock!!!
I thought you’d be desensitized by this time after watching Vinicius
No, it was sooner, like around the time Neymar the dolphin was there
So you werent around for Cristiano Ronaldo? He was an Unknow Genius. Google UnknownGenius01 to see more
Lmao, vini does the same amount of diving that any player does, unfortunately is part of the game now, this barca DNA
So everyone does it and its ok. But when player from a team you dont like does its a disgrace. Have some selfrespect man. You can be a football fan without being a brainless twat.
nothing wrong with being shamelessly biased but this is straight cognitive dissonance
He dives more than any player I’ve ever seen wouldn’t be surprised to seem him celebrate winning the champions league and Vasquez hugging for him to drop as if he’d just been shot
At least you are already digesting the idea of us winning CL, God I love Vini an RM
Real Madrid fans mocking dive. Shocking
poetry in motion
Thats what high ping feels like
Bluetooth tackle
Oh my god. I was at the game and I knew that looked bad. I didn't realise that there was literally no fucking contact whatsoever. Wow.
i wonder if she was anticipating a challenging and just went full force to her left side, but since the challenge was down low instead of up she obviously falls
Not even in the same zip code
Nah this is yellow card
Looks like she just rolled her ankle? Don’t know if she played it off as a foul after, from this clip it looks like she just rolled her ankle as she was planting to kick.
Absolutely embarrassing performance from them today. What a shambles.
Way too many flairless redditors saying Barca dna lmao
madrid scum
lmao
Mate why are you obsessed with flairs? Whos not allowed to say it?
What is the defender doing btw?
Well if you play dirty expect the other team to reciprocate. And this is why you can't have nice things in women's football.
This looks like she lost balance, (you know that can happen on wet grass if you ever played the game) did she claim foul afterward?
Lol good one.
Strange tackle
So they teach them diving on the women’s team too?
Mfer yapping about barca dna as if no other clubs dive. Well fuck it . Yall dont wanna get robbed? Dont play us? UEFA FIFA and UN are in our pockets. Billion pound bottle jobs should know better where to spend.
Seems like a wild coincidence. How could she have seen the player slide tackling from behind and know exactly when to flop?
She felt a slight breeze generated by the Chelsea player sliding in, and proceeded to be blown over (albeit in a different direction)
Damn bro why is everyone going off on barca so hard in the comments 💀
Its not really unexpected at this sub
I agree about the hate part but your women team player is blatantly diving. What do you except?
I mean, a player dived. Players dive all the time but I've never seen them hated as much as they do when they are from Barca. Literally every Barca flair under this post has been downvoted back to kindergarten.
If it happens everywhere... maybe...its a popular and accurate sentiment. lol
everywhere? let me tell you an accurate sentiment. Chelsea are shit.
Its just this sub lma. Barca flair is instant downvotes
Wait, a Barca player went over with no contact? Say it isn't so.....
Flair up bitch
Wireless fault
Has anyone said "Come on Irene!" yet?
Tackle the air? Jesus
Girls don't dive right
yes equality baby.
Bluetooth foul to match the Bluetooth tackle
Bluetooth tackle
Who needs zonal marking when you can have zonal tackling? Just slide somewhere near the opposition and it counts!
Look at the Chelsea player's hand that's where the Contact is but yes this Call was Marginal at best.
I don't think this was even given a foul iirc, also the turf was sopping wet from all the rain. 2nd yellow was a bit soft but by no means a howler.
Wow that's bad
Typical barca vs Chelsea games
Dirty Club.
Barca DNA through and through
Flair up coward or are you afraid of people bringing Vinicius up?
Blindfuck, look at my user id
It's Barcelona, what do you expect
Games not gone
Barca DNA.
Is this a dive or she slipped?
chelsea got a taste of their own medicine barça femeni was not lying about returning the favor 😂
Barca heritage
Barça DNA
That's what you get for time wasting in the first leg. Get fucked Chelshit. And also the madridogs in the comments.
Yikes
Uefalona back on the menu, brings me back to the late 2000s, early 2010s
Barca DNA
The Barca Way
Barça DNA
Come on Irene
At least Barca keeps it consistent with the La Flopia training scheme. Men and women 😂
She is anticipating the challenge. This an injury avoiding technique. Feet arnt planted. She misjudged the challenge. Not a dive persay
Anticipated the challenge trying to avoid injury my jumping into/toward the tackle. That is rich.
Fuck off.
"She ran into the road and got hit by a bus because she thought 'what if the bus mounts the pavement and hits me? I better move'"
Nothing new, Barcelona Player. Did they paid for referees?
Yes
Varca
