The difference is with those two VAR decisions a different ref can interpret that whatever way he wants. Barca or Madrid don’t have either of those decisions given against them.
 
I'll be honest lads, I have a horrible feeling Liverpool are going to bottle the league but win the CL. I really think they are the perfect team to beat Barcelona and I'd fancy them against Spurs or Ajax .

Liverpool concede a boatload of chances in pretty much every game.

Messi will score at least 3 goals over the two games. Then hopefully coutinho and Suarez can add a couple more.

Dembele coming back as well.

It'll be easy for Barca.
 
Is that actually the rule though? In 24 years of watching footy I´ve never seen that implemented.

I think the rule is if it's touched by a teammate, but in practice it means the teammate actually putting the ball through.

Otherwise, if the rule is the last player who touches the ball counts, then any pass that gets a nick off a defender would mean the striker was onside?

Common sense tells me that Eriksen has played the pass, it's a deflection off the City player and therefore it should be onside because there's no deliberate action from a City player to give an assist.
 

I said it before, City going out and Liverpool going through is great.

Now if Liverpool were in the Ajax half it'd be a different story, but they have Barca. And to be quite frank, if they beat Barca I won't argue if they go on to win it.

City, 5 games and a FA Cup final. Get on it boys.
 
United had plenty of opportunities to score that night and fluffed them all. Liverpool won't do that nearly as much. Just hope Barcelona can be the ones to expose their defense at long last.

See what your saying but Porto had plenty of chances vs Liverpool over the 2 ties. You’d expect Barca to put them away.
Is that actually the rule though? In 24 years of watching footy I´ve never seen that implemented.

I’m sure the rule used to be that you had to actually pass the ball to your own player to be offside, a deflection still stood. May have changed with the amount of tweaks to the offside rule over the last few years. I think if the ball didn’t hit Bernardo it would have stood, as soon as it hit him Aguero was offside. As I say though I’m sure that wasn’t a thing a few years back.
 
i've never seen a single person at goodison park wear a union jack flag on their person for a full 90 mins

they may have a union jack flag with NSNO or Everton's Irish Supporters Clubs something and hang it up somewhere but no on their person
