Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down.
The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Hello, everyone. Welcome into our studios for the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Alexis Yunus alongside Shaka Hislop and Ale Moreno. What a show we have for you today because today's the day we get Shaka's power ranking.
Oh, what could possibly go wrong?
Shaka spent all afternoon working on them for you, so trust me, you do not want to miss it. All afternoon. All afternoon.
All afternoon. Yes. Let's go with that.
Two minutes of the afternoon.
Let's go with that.
All right. Well, one thing you did not want to miss is the Champions League action this week. Specifically, the game between Barcelona and Atletico de Madrid. Just have a look at all of the headlines and the back pages over in Spain as Atletico de Madrid are the ones who have won. the lead after the first leg and whenever barca atleti were left talking about it for days to come so the back pages in spain are all about them and now we're going to try and make sense of so many controversial calls in that game so we have to bring in our sid lowe sid thank you so much for joining us for this one right tell us what is the latest in spain to come from this game
Well, we've got Barcelona complaining formally to UEFA because of their belief that they had a penalty and a yellow card which would have then been a red card when that slightly bizarre moment happened when Juan Musa, the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, took a goal kick and then... his teammate put his hand on the ball to take the goal kick for him. And so it should, of course, have been a penalty and an extra yellow card, therefore a red card. And Barcelona have decided to complain formally about this because the way they see it, this isn't about the referee getting interpretation wrong. This is about failing to apply the rules in an objective sense. And so this one will continue to run.
This one will continue to run. Indeed, we're going to talk about that one in just a bit, too. But I want to talk about the Cubarsi red card. Ale Moreno, your thoughts on it.
Well there's an argument to be made that the ball is going behind Giuliano Simeone. Now that's up for interpretation and whether you think that in the ball going in behind Giuliano Simeone that actually takes him away from the path towards goal and then does that constitute then a denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity. Again, that's up for interpretation. What is not up for interpretation is that Pau Cubarci, as young as he may be, he's played enough games for Barcelona to stop making this sort of mistakes. And now I don't have to go too far to pick out a mistake from Pau Cubarci. You only have to go back to the match that took place on Saturday between these two teams. And the goal by Juliano Simeone in that very game is from a very similar run, from a very similar run.
And Kubarski has no idea that Juliano Simeone is behind him. Now, it doesn't help. It doesn't help. I'll be the first to admit. Yeah, Joao Cancelo couldn't care less about defending. That's a different conversation. But Kubarski doesn't even know that Juliano Simeone is there. And you're a center back. You get sucked out of position. Same thing in this goal. or in this red card play that we saw in the midweek, in that it's almost as if Cubercy's surprised that Juliano Simeone has appeared there, so much so that he's trying to get out of the way, ends up taking him down, ends up in a red card. And I'll take it even a step further. 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.
What happened in the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match?
In that case, Barcelona were able to advance over the two legs against Benfica.
