This is not just about these last two games.
You go all the way back to last year's Champions League, at Benfica, Pavlidis gets in behind Kouberci in a similar situation.
He takes him down and is a red card.
In that case, Barcelona were able to advance over the two legs against Benfica.
In this case, against Atletico Madrid, it may be a different story.
He's a really good young player.
But in order for him to take the step to becoming a great player, this sort of thing has to stop.
I'm sorry, did I say that I thought the call was wrong?
I said that there could be an argument to be made.
That you could have that conversation if you saw this.
My point was far more about Pau Cubarci making this sort of mistake.
So if I'm focusing on Pau Cubarci, maybe that's a giveaway that perhaps I thought it was a red card as well.
I'm just saying, he's gotta stop doing this in this sort of moment.
As good a player as he may be, as a young player, again, in order to take that step to the next level, these things have got to stop for him and for Barcelona.
Because at that time, the game was 1-0 for AtlΓ©tico Madrid.
It was a man-up for AtlΓ©tico Madrid.
If you actually follow the video...
What's about to happen is Zorloth comes on the field who ends up scoring the second goal for Atletico Madrid.
All of those things may have changed had there been a red card against Atletico Madrid.
