Like sucediera in the Camp Nou two weeks ago, the Manchester City-FC Barcelona was a crazy "party" with opportunities by part of the two teams for desequilibrar the marker, so much in the first minutes as in the rest.
The case is that, thus, the performance of Viktor Kassai was key to keep the "justice" on the terrain of game in the Etihad Stadium. The east referee, in this sense, can be elogiado for hitting in a very brave decision during the first minutes, when the Manchester City more was tightening to the Barça.
In a contragolpe, Raheem Sterling received a slight contact of Samuel Umtiti and left fall of flagrant way inside the area. To simple sight seemed penalti, but later the cameras of television gave the repetition and checked that in reality the English attacker had thrown .
Good sight therefore of Viktor Kassai, the one who hit to the hour of not signalling the maximum penalty and, besides, punished to Sterling with a yellow card. In the Spanish League can that some referee pitara the penalti, but this is the Champions League and during the first-half the arbitration of the referee was flawless.
This yes, could have pitado like penalti a fall of Messi after an entrance of Kolarov inside the area "citizen". In any case, fits to highlight also that the played did not go at all clear, even with the repetition. Messi, by the way, finish to advance to the Barça few minutes before when defining a flawless counterattack driven by Neymar Jr.
