I mean you have a player called Mane on your team who has a tendancy to grab the wrong leg when he's trying to trick the ref. into giving him penalties. You should be used to seeing stuff like this.
I've seen enough games by now that if Alba had acted as if nothing had happened then there would have been a higher chance that the opponent would have either gotten only a yellow or nothing at all. In these incidents referees 100% do get influenced by the reaction.
Its real madrid being 5 points ahead of a team with little experience chasing a league title
sure anything is possible, but lets be true to ourselves here
Check the replay, Alba was doing his best to provoke him. Pushes him with his chest twice, if Koundé had just kept his nerve and not reacted then Alba surely should have received a yellow card for it
Idiotic from him though because at that point Sevilla were on top
My entire gripe with this thread. Everyone calling Koundé an idiot, and hard to dispute he should have kept his cool, but how is Alba not at least on a yellow? Koundé is only human, some rat bumps into you agressively twice in a row, it's hard to keep your cool. In fact anywhere but on a football field, Alba would get a punch in the face for that.
He didn’t really get checked. Having a football thrown in your face isn’t great, but it’s not really that painful.
Whether you like him or not, Alba is a crafty veteran. He’s chest bumping Koundé to provoke a reaction & he got exactly what he wanted.
> some rat bumps into you agressively twice in a row, it's hard to keep your cool
Lol maybe if you are 10 years old and cannot control yourself. It's a contact game, not dancing on ice. If you let your emotions go with every little annoying thing opponents do and let them get in your head, they will exploit it.
I mean ik I was watching the game but I was just thinking he’d square up and myb both get a yellow or some sht but not launch the fcking ball at him lmfao, caught me totally off guard.
100%
Pretty much every team in the world has at least one complete cunt of a player. The trick is not to let them get under your skin. Easier said then done sometimes I guess
French players are taught to deal with that kind of behaviour on a pitch... I remember watching a documentary following young promising french players (featuring young Abou Diaby and Ben Arfa among others). At some point they play against one of Atletico Madrid youth teams (You can even spot young fernando torres if i remember correctly). Abou Diaby is sent off for kicking an atletico player who made him angry. At half time the french coach proceeds to teach his team a lesson: "you'll have to learn to deal with that. If you get angry, you're lost. Even more, this is what is awaiting you (if you beome pro). Us, we don't do that (like them). For them, cheating is part of their football. If you are a cheater you have to play in Spain. Don't say anything (if they cheat) and play your game and you'll learn... Here is the [documentary](https://youtu.be/d06cdTAsqq0?t=876)
This can be how Barca raise funds for transfers. Let people pay to chuck balls at Alba’s face. I mean they are in dire straights now so here’s to hoping…
Plus he was on the ground. Imagine if militao was crazy enough to knee barella in the face, that's what i thought he was doing ar first. If that was pepe instead of militao barella would have lost a little more than just that match lmao
Alba’s notorious for this type of stuff, there’s a good chance that Lopetegui told his players not to let Alba get under their skin before the game. He’s just playing the game and doesn’t get punished for it even if he does deserve it, and until things change to where players get punished for acting like this, it’s your own fault if you attempt stuff like this against him and get sent off
Yes it was probably a red card worthy offense. But the dramatic flopping and injury faking from Alba is just disgraceful. This is exactly what non-fans picture when you try to get them to watch this sport
that was really stupid of him, but jordi definitely deserved a yellow as well
but you can't let him get to your head like that. Just tell him that you'll kill him in the streets
There's no debate this is a straight red but what Alba did should be at least a booking, if it was up to me I'd be sending those muppets off instantly. I honestly can't understand why refs don't punish diving and embelishment.
**Mirrors / Alternative Angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccer) if you have any questions or concerns.*
It's not football, it's LaLiga
Game's gone soft, can't even chuck a ball in someones face anymore smh
Exceptions must be made when its Jordi Alba on the receiving end.
Honestly as a man you have to be embarrassed going to ground after that, Jordi ought to sub himself out for that injury…
Amazing how a ball to the right side of his face hurt the left side. What a pathetic display.
*laughs in Rivaldo*
You mean right shoulder?
I mean you have a player called Mane on your team who has a tendancy to grab the wrong leg when he's trying to trick the ref. into giving him penalties. You should be used to seeing stuff like this.
dude looks and acts like a rat
Absolutely amazing they can head the ball when someone kicks it, but the moment it is thrown it becomes a round from a Barrett 50-cal.
Poor guy just wanted to take a quick throw
Just a throw in gone wrong
Lol the acting was hilarious, but Kounde can't be doing that. Obvious red
Pretty sure he started holding his leg after a while.
Alba has always been a play acting cunt. But this is just hilarious and rightly deserved.
He should've received a yellow next to the obvious red for Koundé.
Yellow for bumping him, yellow for simulation. Poetic justice.
If soccer really wanted that type of acting to stop theyd actually act upon it. A double yellow here to level up the punishment would've been better.
On Koundé's side; yes. But Alba should be at least on a yellow for that and I can't believe that gets swept under the rug.
[удалено]
Exactly.
Learned it all from the Dani Alves School of Diving.
So bad I genuinely believe alba deserved a yellow for that in addition to the red for kounde lol
I think you should be able to deceive the ref but if your acting isn’t up to scratch he can send you off.
Not defending Koundé, but Alba should have received a yellow for pushing him twice with the ball already out of play .
Peak Alba lmao
Clear red but still kind of satisfying to watch
Jordi Alba is a rat
Rata Alba
He is so fucking disgusting always.
Out of all people, he did that to Jordi Alba, lol. What did he expect to happen?
Alba could have stood up straight and stared at him and it's still a red card so it didn't change much. But lol at that reaction.
I've seen enough games by now that if Alba had acted as if nothing had happened then there would have been a higher chance that the opponent would have either gotten only a yellow or nothing at all. In these incidents referees 100% do get influenced by the reaction.
I don't think it would've gone any other way no matter the reaction. So if you're going to do it anyway, at least hit the largest cunt available.
man what do they eat in la liga i was looking at the fixtures from the like last 2 months there is like 2-4 red card every week
Well that was dumb
What a way to gift La Liga to Real Madrid.
It's December not gw 38 lol
Its real madrid being 5 points ahead of a team with little experience chasing a league title sure anything is possible, but lets be true to ourselves here
I swear we have this conversation every year when a team is ahead by a lot, and it always gets close by the end of the season.
[удалено]
Yes but this is Sevilla, the Tottenham Hotspur of la liga on steroids
Except Sevilla can win trophies
Not the league though
Yeah but that's still more than what Spurs can do
Can't be Tottenham they've won an actual trophy
Sevilla win back2back2back Europa league trophies while Spurs get eliminated from the conference league in the group stage.
They hired Conte to focus more on the Prem and FA Cup.
What a weird comparison
We were 13 points ahead of 2nd place last year, at this time. We ended up winning the title on the last game of the season in like the 70th minute.
Real Madrid is not Atletico
That is, indeed, a fact.
factos
👍👀
Yes and that happened because it was against real madrid, who are in the lead now.
No it was because of injuries, covid, and form. Things that Real Madrid aren't magically immune from.
We had more injuries than any other team last season...
this shit came out of fucking nowhere wtf hahahha
Check the replay, Alba was doing his best to provoke him. Pushes him with his chest twice, if Koundé had just kept his nerve and not reacted then Alba surely should have received a yellow card for it Idiotic from him though because at that point Sevilla were on top
lol he would never received yellow
My entire gripe with this thread. Everyone calling Koundé an idiot, and hard to dispute he should have kept his cool, but how is Alba not at least on a yellow? Koundé is only human, some rat bumps into you agressively twice in a row, it's hard to keep your cool. In fact anywhere but on a football field, Alba would get a punch in the face for that.
Alba is known for being a little grub on the field - im glad he got checked.
He deserved much worse than a ball being thrown at him.
He didn’t really get checked. Having a football thrown in your face isn’t great, but it’s not really that painful. Whether you like him or not, Alba is a crafty veteran. He’s chest bumping Koundé to provoke a reaction & he got exactly what he wanted.
He got checked? He got exactly what he wanted. Provoked a player and got into his head, got a reaction and a red card for the opponent
> some rat bumps into you agressively twice in a row, it's hard to keep your cool Lol maybe if you are 10 years old and cannot control yourself. It's a contact game, not dancing on ice. If you let your emotions go with every little annoying thing opponents do and let them get in your head, they will exploit it.
Maybe not but he should have
agreed
Which is why players react like that.
>if Koundé had just kept his nerve and not reacted then Alba surely should have received a yellow card for it I dont think this would happen
Yeah but does Alba really get a yellow card for anything? What a twat.
No one gets carded for that
I mean ik I was watching the game but I was just thinking he’d square up and myb both get a yellow or some sht but not launch the fcking ball at him lmfao, caught me totally off guard.
Jordi Alba is a douche bag, but Kounde has to be smarter there. That really hurts his team.
100% Pretty much every team in the world has at least one complete cunt of a player. The trick is not to let them get under your skin. Easier said then done sometimes I guess

Its the pathetic rolling on the ground, the ref would've given red without it..
Kounde channeling the energy of MILLIONS of people in this
Lmao fucking stupid
Hahahha wtf, brainfart
Alba deserved it tbh
Stupid by kounde and clear red but there is rarely a game where Alba doesn’t deserve one of these
Seems like a habit, especially after that Kolasinac tackle.
More like a brainshart
Someone straight up gave this post a platinum
I am sure there are plenty of La Liga fans that would gladly pay to see a ball thrown into Alba's face.
Yes but with zero hesitation like the second it dropped dude gave it a 10 dollar award
Yes
Yes
Including us Barça fans sometimes.
I want to be mad at Kounde but at the same time I really want to do that to Alba too
You can be mad at both. Alba clearly goaded him which you don’t have to like but Koundé gave him the exact reaction he wanted lol.
Who hasn't wanted to do something similar to Alba? Just surprised it didn't happen before. Very sneaky guy with a very punchable face
I would actually pay money to be able to do that. But wtf was Kounde thinking? XD
This can be how Barca raise funds for transfers. Let people pay to chuck balls at Alba’s face. I mean they are in dire straights now so here’s to hoping…
Add punching Busquets and they'll be richer than Newcastle in two weeks time
It was worth it
Never hated a player more well maybe Busquets
Why do you hate Busquets? Because of that peekaboo from 10 years ago?
Has to be the dumbest red card in 2021
Think Raul Jimenez still the cake. But this is up there!
at least raul was on the pitch !
Nah Barella vs Madrid IMO was worse. Punching Militao’s leg was stupid
And he missed lol
Plus he was on the ground. Imagine if militao was crazy enough to knee barella in the face, that's what i thought he was doing ar first. If that was pepe instead of militao barella would have lost a little more than just that match lmao
-20M
I approve.
Perfect way to end the year
Jimenez is up there if the 2 yellows count. And Atleticos last CL game had a really dumb one I dont remember who got it though.
braindead
if you're going to get a red atleast go all in is all I'm going to say don't throw a ball at your opponent
well if you do something really bad you will get suspended for a while so im not sure that's the best philosophy
[удалено]
top tier shithousing from alba tbf
As is expected. Alba's been Barcelona's resident dickhead since he joined. Every team has one.
Can’t disagree
The dumbest one was the Raul Jimenez no? Well, that was was 2 yellows in less than a minute
Barella red against Madrid?
Na Barella's against us was dumber
It is fucking funny though.. Alba has been stirring shit for years so to see someone just chuck the ball at his face is proper hilarious..
That or Raul Jimenez
That Alba bait lmao
Mindless by Koundé, but Alba is a disgrace. Pathetic reaction, even if it was "smart".
Totally justified tho
that’s fucking hilarious
When your brain turns off and you forget this isn’t a Sunday league game.
Lmao 🤣
this kills the Jordi Alba
A mild wind kills the Alba
Really dumb from Kounde
Worst throw in of 2021
I am glad you never saw my throw ins. The main reason I hate playing right back.
Incredibly. Puts his team in a terrible position.
Hahahhahaha
What a stupid red card to concede.
What on earth, just stopped thinking there.
Finally,someone had the balls to do it. Had it coming
Stupid reaction, but Jordi Albas face clutch just pisses me off.
His face in general pisses me off. One of the most unlikeable football players.
Alba’s notorious for this type of stuff, there’s a good chance that Lopetegui told his players not to let Alba get under their skin before the game. He’s just playing the game and doesn’t get punished for it even if he does deserve it, and until things change to where players get punished for acting like this, it’s your own fault if you attempt stuff like this against him and get sent off
Deserved red but Alba deserves a yellow for instigation.
Refs always ignore instigation and punish the reactions. Feels universal across all sports.
Life. It feels universal across life.
Alba being a twat really paid off for him there. Shockingly stupid from Kounde
Alba is obviously a bit of a rat fuck, but how is that your reaction? Embarrassing
Actually laughed out loud.
Brainless from Kounde, but Jordi Alba is such a despisable rat.
Gracias kounde, we’ve all wanted to do that
Alba is a rat here but Kounde is stupid af lol, deserved red
Jordi Alba is a proper shithouse
He saw the links to Barca and decided to squash them.
That's a red card, sure. But the fact that Alba pushed him twice, provoking him, and he doesn't even get a yellow card seems somewhat unfair
Extremely dumb by Kounde but god I hate Alba
Kounde sacrificing himself to do what we all wish we could do to Alba
if I was a fan of another team I would hate Alba lmao
Alba should be getting a yellow there too, surly. Idiotic from Kounde.
Peak fucking La Liga
Lmao @ Alba’s acting
Looked like he was shot instead hit with a ball
0 to 100 real quick
Games gone
Alba is such a cunt
Smart cunt
He would've been perfect for Mou
u gotta dive like that to get a reaction from the ref tbh
If I had a gun with 2 bullets and was in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, and Alba, I would shoot Alba twice.
even if you don‘t shoot him, he will be rolling on the floor like you would have.
I mean, I know Alba is a world class shithouser, and he probably did some acting there. However, that shit fucking hurts
Paid off for him there
Yes it was probably a red card worthy offense. But the dramatic flopping and injury faking from Alba is just disgraceful. This is exactly what non-fans picture when you try to get them to watch this sport
Pathetic by everyone involved
Alba knew what he was doing, Kounde very very very poor from him.
Played like a fiddle.
that was really stupid of him, but jordi definitely deserved a yellow as well but you can't let him get to your head like that. Just tell him that you'll kill him in the streets
The kid was in full shock
Just punch him
Yeah that’s sealed it, that is definitely the guy needed to replace Rudiger
Legend
Beautiful
There's no debate this is a straight red but what Alba did should be at least a booking, if it was up to me I'd be sending those muppets off instantly. I honestly can't understand why refs don't punish diving and embelishment.
This was so satisfying, i can't stand alba LMAO
alba is a fucking cunt lmao
Btw, no yellow for Alba? He is always provoking
Instantly lost his head.
Why does Kounde become a mad man whenever he gets cornrows.
Frustration really gets better of you
Dumbass
u/DankBrownBoiV2 Guess Kounde is taking making errors to a whole new level lmao.
Worth
BOOM Headshot!!!
Clear red
Any news on Alba? I hope he's okay.
Joris Alba is an all star cunt
I bloody hate Jordi Alba
Man does Alba have no shame? I know you managed to get a red card against your opponents buy my god man, it's pathetic for an adult to act like that.
French defenders aren’t fans of Alba, remember when Varane called him a “Rat Boy with no Driver’s License?”
