@@salimwheatgrass6711 thats irrelevant to the point i was making, ok lets say van persie heard the whistle and kicked the ball; its still within the normal course of the play, it wasnt late enough or time wasting for van persie to get a card. We know what the deal is , and its uefalona sucking barcas dick.
+Pigisdeado yeah remember that Bojan goal that was disallowed in a fucking semi final? everyone gets fucked every once in a while. it's the refs that are shit.
Let's not take into account that even Victor Valdes even heard the referee's whistle, as well as that Van Persie was only 35m away from the referee instead of 50 and may be hearing impaired, and that instead of 100k there were only 96.5k spectators in the stadium and shouted at first after the ball was gone and the previous bad decisions made against Barcelona.
It's simple. 1- At this time, kicking ball after ref whistle was sanctionned by a yellow card. It was the rule and ref just did his job period. 2- you say that he didn't hear the whistle due to the stadium noises, okay so why Barca players stopped action? Aren't they in that same noisy stadium or do they have more ears than Van Persie? And you all know that he heard the whistle...if he didn't he wouldn't have shot like that, he'd take his time to score the letal goal that would ruin Barca hope
How can you expect from a HUMAN BEING to hear one fucking whistle , when there are 100 000 jumping and screaming at the stadium?!? Plus a red card for a very dumb reason
+fede018 Players getting booked for kicking the ball away in order to waste time happens all the time. Players getting booked for finishing a chance one second after the whistle in a packed stadium however does not. The referee was completely wrong in the instance. His job is to help the game run smoothly and protect the players not to kill off the game and send it into disrepute.
Jack Burbridge i'm not saying the referee was right. It was definitely an overreaction. I'm just saying that the excuse that he didn't hear the whistle is bullshit
That's why Spain lost 5-1 to Netherland, even tho Spain scored it's only goal thru penalty that wasn't deserved to begin with. But fifa and uefa help Spanish teams alot, especially few years back when barcelona was diving all over the pitch. ARSENAL WAS BETTER THAT YEAR.

SEMI FINALS (or before) - Barcelona x real Madrid - Dani alves make a scene later Pepe kick the ball. Pepe don't touch in Dani Alves, but received a red card. In the same game others things helped Barcelona too.
@@andersoncampos5888 In that game, Real players deserved to be sent off so many times that being one man down was not harsh enough for how Madrid played that day
This shit still hurts today. It was like the 60th minute, Barca were tiring and we were finding our way back into that game. We have come back against Barca a few times late on in the game because they tire because of the pressing they do. But ONE DAY, we will get our revenge on Barcelona and we can all laugh as Messi and Fabregas have a little cry together after being humiliated by us.
This was the second time in a few years that Barcelona had been helped by Referee's who aren't able to use common sense and proper judgement in their decision making. The first was when Lehman was red carded in the opening 20 minutes of the Champions League Final. Yes, it was a goal scoring opportunity, but a goal keeper must attempt to go for the ball. A penalty is an incredible advantage to a team, a red card + a penalty decides the match. Arsenal fought bravely to end it at 2-1 and nearly come out triumphant as they were leading 1-0 until the 76th minute. Had they not been a man down for so much of the game, they wouldn't have been as exposed in certain areas and exhausted. This wasn't in the final, but much worse in some respects because there was absolutely no justification. You'll be hard pressed to find any games where strikers finish their attacking move and shoot despite a whistle being blown. Especially in a stadium environment during the Champions League. A strikers first instincts are not to listen or watch for what the officials are doing, they are 100% focused on their movement, shot, the defenders, and the goalkeeper. at 2-3 on aggregate the game was in Arsenals favour and all to play for. UEFA have a track record of assisting Barcelona in the Champions League, just watch the Chelsea-Barcelona semi final match that had 5 clear penalties completely ignored by the officials.
Puck the 2006 final, Kerr deserved the red. He literally grabbed his foot go look at the foul again. Second, it wasn’t 5 it was 3 penalties that Barcelona caused, and there were some bad calls against Barcelona too. and the red against persie, he got lucky he didn’t get a red hitting Dani Alves in the face. But he only got a yellow. Then with the second hello, he deserved it for wasting time by kicking the ball out. He most definitely heard the whistle. Just look at how he turns around so calmly as if he knew that the shot was meaningless. The shot was terrible and way off target, and striker who misses an open shot that badly at that stage of the tournament will have a reaction of disbelief that they missed that badly. Persie knew the shot was pointless because whistle already had been blown hence his no reaction turn.
This still makes me angry and I’m a Liverpool fan. Officiating games in a Siberian prison for the rest of his life would be too good for this ref. UEFA promoted him!
a lot of people think that this was because of barcelona being lucky, but it wasn't. the referee was being stupid and van persie just wasn't expecting it. in the match he made a gesture meaning that the whole 90,000 or so fans were saying "don't give him a red card!" and even some of the barcelona players were saying that too. yes, we didn't have any shots on target, but later in the match van persie was pretty much our only hope if we even had a chance of winning the round.
That was his 2 yellow not a red card first one was for punching Dani Alves go watch the game he was lucky ref didn't give him red if we had VAR that was red card
Not worst decision but best favoured decision for FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona won 2 Champions League by paying referees in 2009 & 2011, they even paid well in 2010 but Mourinho parked the bus. In 2011 Pepe got red card when he attempted the ball & didn't even collide with Dani Alves.
This was the most scandalous decision in the history of the champions league. The fact that this wasn’t a more publicized issue was insane. FIFA/EUEFA PR people worked wonders to ensure this didn’t become a huge scandal. I’m still so mad about this. I’ve never seen a first yellow given for a shot a second after the whistle let alone a second yellow against our capris and one of the best players in the world. Absolutely insane. The fact that I don’t even know the name of the ref who made the call shows how well they buried this incident. Ducking ridiculous. P
Erzik was project manager at UNICEF, as well as vice-president of UEFA executive committee, referee commitee and fair-play commitee (as if one commitee wasn't enough). He worked closely with Platini who, as we know, got suspended for corruption, and Barcelona's president Laporta was a partner for both of them. Laporta soon got his own position at UEFA, along with Gaspart, an historic executive at Barcelona known for his... unorthodox ways, and Villar, the former president of Spain's Federation, another partner of Platini and Laporta, who would eventually be jailed for corruption from a separate case. Laporta supported Platini's plan of getting rid of G14 (14 biggest clubs defence against UEFA, what today is ECA) and Platini appoints Erzik. It's simple, Barcelona made donations to UNICEF from 06/07 until 16/17 in exchange for favours. The furthest they'd get in Champions League, they would share their earnings accordingly. Barcelona wins in 09, 11, 15 and 17. The Stamford Bridge scandal was in 2009, the Van Persie red card in 2011... They win their last one in 2017, conveniently the last year of their partnership with UNICEF, and what happened afterwards? 2018: humiliated by Roma, 2019: humiliated by Liverpool, 2020: humiliated by Bayern, one knock-out stage in three years. If anyone doubts Erzik's dishonesty, let me tell you he was chief referee in 2002 Korea FIFA World Cup. Yeah, I know. How is Uefalona still allowed to play, that I don't know.
5-Year Period, Real Madrid, Bayern München, Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Internazionale Milano, All have had more successful 5-year spells than Uefalona
1. They cheat 2. You lose 3. You're not allowed to voice your opinion (or you will be fined+miss matches) Teams WANT to avoid playing FCB NOT just because they are good but to avoid being put in this lose-lose situation.
@dungaaaa I am a Juve fan, but when Inter was playing agianst the cheats, I was supporting Inter with the bottom of my heart. I hate Barca more than any other team. They are a disgrace to the word 'fair play'
All the referees are in the pockets of Barcelona. The referee in this game was appalling as his corruption and cheating alone had a blatant influence on the result of the match. At the time of Van Persie's sending off, Arsenal were leading the tie by virtue of a Busquet's own goal. Referee couldn't risk his beloved Barcelona getting knocked out so sent off Van Persie in the most stupid way. That is never a second yellow in a million years
I remember watching at the time and thinking he knew he was offside and it was called. He was a purely left footed player, if he went through one on one he'd never swing his right foot at it from that angle. But at that stage in the game and the fact it didn't delay the game at all he didn't deserve a booking
Everyone Says Barca Is Cheating. Tell Me How The Fuck That's Possible When The Refs Are The Ones Making The Calls? I Honestly Fucking Hate Refs For Shit Like This.
it's not like he bombed it into the crowd either. the shot was well struck, especially for his weaker foot. Valdes had it in his hands in about three seconds. You know the call is terrible when Barca doesn't need to send every man, woman and child towards the referee. This match was a sham.
Did you watch the video? 1 second after the whistle. Human reactions are slow, and unless you haven't noticed, there are 100,000 fans shouting inside Camp Nou. A very harsh and unjustified yellow card. Barcelona have a reputation for getting lucky with decisions, and reputations aren't built on pillars of sand.
i think barca fans and football fans should all be dissapointed, bcuz the best game of football for that round was robbed. van persie has an awesome accent
Barcelona literally paid for favours in Champions League. Their deal with UNICEF (and Erzik) was from 2006 to 2017. They won in 09, 11, 15 and 17. Laporta supported Platini for G14 dissolution (former ECA) and suddenly barça people got positions at UEFA.
@kongiss wrong, the Chelsea defender pulls Henry from the left shoulder as he turns taking him down. That's a PK. Ballack had a yellow and kicked Iniesta from behind. The ref called the foul but didn't want to kick him out. Anelka and Drogba dove as soon as they felt someone near them. None of the handballs was the defender even facing the ball -- no intention no PK. 1 shot, 1 goal, 1 champion
That red card (alongside Lehman’s in the final) still keeps me up at night. Now that it’s been proved that Barça paid the refs, I can finally rest. FU Uefalona.
Im not sure about everyone else, but I enjoy watching Barcelona playing the way they do, but i am now getting more pissed off every time i watch them. One minute they do a great passing display and score or not and is great to watch then you get players like Dani Alves completely ruining it by diving and trying to get the player sent off and there is no need for it. The Ref's should know this by now and know the players who always do it. Its disgraceful on the part of the ref's.
ur telling me robin van persie, the third best striker in the world would miss that chance that bendther had later in the match if he was in the pitch.
I don´t even understand why people think this is no yellow card. 1:26 You can clearly hear the whistle and you can clearly see that Van Persie tries to shoot after the whistle. Even if he didn´t hear it: Yellow card. Straight forward.
the crowd were always booing when arsenal had the ball barca should be banned from their own stadium for a couple of days and play on a pitch with less stands
The worst thing about it is Barca are the best team in the world and cud prob win with dignity. Chelsea, Arsenal and now real, red cards, penos and every other decision go their way. They dive and surround the ref whenever anything happens. Should be ashamed
Where would Wenger's Arsenal be without years of having their players' being cynically fouled and injured out of the game (and their lwgs being broken) and such referee decisions. However, Van Persie insisting on not hearing the whistle is quite childish and ridiculous. He clearly did not kick into that ball with the intent to finish the chance. He clearly realised that. Then his brain might got one of those momenra when it freezes and kicked into the ball rather then firing it into the stands in frustration or with the intent to waste time. Clearly, but claiming that he did not know the game was being stopped is a bit below him (or should be).
Quite literally THE worst referee decision i've witnessed. 'The Nou Camp' was renowned for having the noisiest stadium ( if i remember rightly it had been mention frequently that year during the Champions league ) and i think this was an oportunity for a ref to hand Barca a lifeline and boy he took it. his reaction was instant. This made me not watch the champins leage for 4 years. Im just gald Messi wasnt playing that game. A shambles of a Ref
Funny, people think of the red to v Persie and complain. In the 1st half there was a clear PK on Messi and no one complained (besides the second after the PK of course). Same thing with the Obrevo BS. No one remembers the BS in Barcelona, the PK on Henry or the clear red not given to ballack by the German ref. Losers find excuses instead of solutions. Refs are easy targets and 90% of the time get blamed because its easier than recognize the superiority of the other team.
And Mourinho was right, again, both Champions won by Guardiola have been a shame... Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid... Who'll be next? Surely is possible to bet at bet houses...
one of the worst refereeing decisions of all time..
Barcelona were a million times better than Arsenal dumbass, if you think Arsenal are better you’re just as deluded as Ty from AFTV.

The fact that I don’t even know the name of the ref who made the call shows how well they buried this incident. Ducking ridiculous. P
Barcelona, Argentina and Manchester United are favoured by FIFA/UEFA/Refs
@@wisepalaz not argentina lmfao
@@cookieguy9885 Argentina bought the world cup with help from Qater so yes.
@@queenbrightwingthe3890 lol no
UEFA is a joke
Barca is a joke.
Well, now it all make sense now.
You speak the truth Robin!
Uefalona
To think that the "greatest team ever" won 2 UCLs by lucky refereeing decisions (v Chelsea in '09 and Arsenal in '11) 😠
This referee should get banned permanently.
Simple refs been bought
Barcelona bribes referees, fact
Erzik was project manager at UNICEF, as well as vice-president of UEFA executive committee, referee commitee and fair-play commitee (as if one commitee wasn't enough). He worked closely with Platini who, as we know, got suspended for corruption, and Barcelona's president Laporta was a partner for both of them. Laporta soon got his own position at UEFA, along with Gaspart, an historic executive at Barcelona known for his... unorthodox ways, and Villar, the former president of Spain's Federation, another partner of Platini and Laporta, who would eventually be jailed for corruption from a separate case.
Laporta supported Platini's plan of getting rid of G14 (14 biggest clubs defence against UEFA, what today is ECA) and Platini appoints Erzik. It's simple, Barcelona made donations to UNICEF from 06/07 until 16/17 in exchange for favours. The furthest they'd get in Champions League, they would share their earnings accordingly. Barcelona wins in 09, 11, 15 and 17. The Stamford Bridge scandal was in 2009, the Van Persie red card in 2011... They win their last one in 2017, conveniently the last year of their partnership with UNICEF, and what happened afterwards? 2018: humiliated by Roma, 2019: humiliated by Liverpool, 2020: humiliated by Bayern, one knock-out stage in three years.
If anyone doubts Erzik's dishonesty, let me tell you he was chief referee in 2002 Korea FIFA World Cup. Yeah, I know. How is Uefalona still allowed to play, that I don't know.
He was paid. Barcelona should be striped of all titles between now and the 2000s.
RVP legend
Shit happens. Let wait for Barca to run out of money for referees. Cheers for you and whatever club you support. As long as it's not Barcelona.
That decision altered Arsenal's course of history
5-Year Period, Real Madrid, Bayern München, Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Internazionale Milano, All have had more successful 5-year spells than Uefalona
How often do we see yellow cards for these
I love VPersie. Such a Legend.
Delighted to see UEFAlona get ripped apart the other night.
1. They cheat
2. You lose
3. You're not allowed to voice your opinion (or you will be fined+miss matches)
Teams WANT to avoid playing FCB NOT just because they are good but to avoid being put in this lose-lose situation.
He seems really angry, but for a reason. AND the ref was about 40m behind RVP when the whistle sounded. No way he could have heard.
captain obvious swooped in 13 years ago to give us this cracking update
@dungaaaa
I am a Juve fan, but when Inter was playing agianst the cheats, I was supporting Inter with the bottom of my heart. I hate Barca more than any other team. They are a disgrace to the word 'fair play'
Now it all becomes clear now
All the referees are in the pockets of Barcelona. The referee in this game was appalling as his corruption and cheating alone had a blatant influence on the result of the match. At the time of Van Persie's sending off, Arsenal were leading the tie by virtue of a Busquet's own goal. Referee couldn't risk his beloved Barcelona getting knocked out so sent off Van Persie in the most stupid way. That is never a second yellow in a million years
Refereing was an absolute disgrace
Here after Nasri’s comments! Barca probably had ucl refs in their pockets too! United fan!
Corrupted refs all need to be prosecuted, thrown in jails, and banned from refereeing for life.
So many questionable decisions concerning Barca during this era
I remember watching at the time and thinking he knew he was offside and it was called. He was a purely left footed player, if he went through one on one he'd never swing his right foot at it from that angle.
But at that stage in the game and the fact it didn't delay the game at all he didn't deserve a booking
You can see the pain in his eyes
Everyone Says Barca Is Cheating. Tell Me How The Fuck That's Possible When The Refs Are The Ones Making The Calls? I Honestly Fucking Hate Refs For Shit Like This.
it's not like he bombed it into the crowd either. the shot was well struck, especially for his weaker foot. Valdes had it in his hands in about three seconds.
You know the call is terrible when Barca doesn't need to send every man, woman and child towards the referee. This match was a sham.
Did you watch the video? 1 second after the whistle. Human reactions are slow, and unless you haven't noticed, there are 100,000 fans shouting inside Camp Nou. A very harsh and unjustified yellow card. Barcelona have a reputation for getting lucky with decisions, and reputations aren't built on pillars of sand.
i think barca fans and football fans should all be dissapointed, bcuz the best game of football for that round was robbed. van persie has an awesome accent
VARCA doing VARCA things
Barcelona literally paid for favours in Champions League. Their deal with UNICEF (and Erzik) was from 2006 to 2017. They won in 09, 11, 15 and 17. Laporta supported Platini for G14 dissolution (former ECA) and suddenly barça people got positions at UEFA.
@kongiss wrong, the Chelsea defender pulls Henry from the left shoulder as he turns taking him down. That's a PK. Ballack had a yellow and kicked Iniesta from behind. The ref called the foul but didn't want to kick him out.
Anelka and Drogba dove as soon as they felt someone near them. None of the handballs was the defender even facing the ball -- no intention no PK.
1 shot, 1 goal, 1 champion
UNBELIEVABLE THIS PEOPLE!!!!
Could not possibly blame him for speaking out to this corruption
EVERY YEAR SINCE 2006 ARSENAL HAVE HAD TO FACE BARCELONA MAN IT'S SO UNFAIR WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPENT IN THE NEXT CHAMPO LEAGUE!!!!!
That red card (alongside Lehman’s in the final) still keeps me up at night. Now that it’s been proved that Barça paid the refs, I can finally rest.
FU Uefalona.
Where’s it proved lol 😂😂😂😂😂 they were proved innocent
MVP for Barca; The ref.
Im not sure about everyone else, but I enjoy watching Barcelona playing the way they do, but i am now getting more pissed off every time i watch them. One minute they do a great passing display and score or not and is great to watch then you get players like Dani Alves completely ruining it by diving and trying to get the player sent off and there is no need for it. The Ref's should know this by now and know the players who always do it. Its disgraceful on the part of the ref's.
THE TRUTH IS COMING OUT NOW
*BREAKING NEWS*
Man Utd offer £40 for Barca's swiss super star
Barca have said that their referee is not for sale...
ur telling me robin van persie, the third best striker in the world would miss that chance that bendther had later in the match if he was in the pitch.
I don´t even understand why people think this is no yellow card.
1:26
You can clearly hear the whistle and you can clearly see that Van Persie tries to shoot after the whistle.
Even if he didn´t hear it: Yellow card. Straight forward.
Bollocks
What if it was a fake whistle. (yes I know I'm replying to a decade old comment)
They all should have walked out in protest
the crowd were always booing when arsenal had the ball barca should be banned from their own stadium for a couple of days and play on a pitch with less stands
I hope if Arsenal plays Barca in the Champions League i hope they kick their ass.
RVP had a point about this. As a Spurs fan I enjoyed it, but it was ludicrous.
Video was made 1 year before I was born
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@lRAF99 PEOPLE FORGET.. in the 2006 final they had too replace too linesmen because they were seen wearing barcelona shirts!
The worst thing about it is Barca are the best team in the world and cud prob win with dignity. Chelsea, Arsenal and now real, red cards, penos and every other decision go their way. They dive and surround the ref whenever anything happens. Should be ashamed
I'm a Barcelona fan but i have to say that the sending off
Robin Van Persie was rubbish and stupid
the ref should of not red carded him :L
Where would Wenger's Arsenal be without years of having their players' being cynically fouled and injured out of the game (and their lwgs being broken) and such referee decisions.
However, Van Persie insisting on not hearing the whistle is quite childish and ridiculous.
He clearly did not kick into that ball with the intent to finish the chance.
He clearly realised that.
Then his brain might got one of those momenra when it freezes and kicked into the ball rather then firing it into the stands in frustration or with the intent to waste time. Clearly, but claiming that he did not know the game was being stopped is a bit below him (or should be).
Quite literally THE worst referee decision i've witnessed.
'The Nou Camp' was renowned for having the noisiest stadium ( if i remember rightly it had been mention frequently that year during the Champions league ) and i think this was an oportunity for a ref to hand Barca a lifeline and boy he took it. his reaction was instant.
This made me not watch the champins leage for 4 years. Im just gald Messi wasnt playing that game.
A shambles of a Ref
This game and the Chelsea Barcelona game were absolute jokes
Funny, people think of the red to v Persie and complain. In the 1st half there was a clear PK on Messi and no one complained (besides the second after the PK of course). Same thing with the Obrevo BS. No one remembers the BS in Barcelona, the PK on Henry or the clear red not given to ballack by the German ref.
Losers find excuses instead of solutions. Refs are easy targets and 90% of the time get blamed because its easier than recognize the superiority of the other team.
didn’t Barcelona get exposed for paying refs
And Mourinho was right, again, both Champions won by Guardiola have been a shame... Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid... Who'll be next? Surely is possible to bet at bet houses...
