Nice to be a referee, it's really nice to be a referee.
It's not a goal. For many reasons, it's not a goal. For more than one reason at least, it's not a goal.
And it's too much a stake here, we put so much effort, it's so difficult to compete at this level.
I mean, there's definitely a gap between the white line and the ball.
I don't think that's a foul. I mean, his arms are up, that's the thing.
I just think that Gabriel tries to head that ball, lean forward to sort of flick his head back.
No, I don't think that's a foul. I mean, his arms are up, that's the thing.
It's a stoppage time now. Ronaldo, saved by Alisson, the flag stayed down.
The Lexus stoppage time is three minutes and Ronaldo's had a bit of a kick out there at Curtis Jones.
Campbell says, Andrew Robertson, and it's getting a little testy.
A little bit of advice from the assistant referee to what he saw.
Surprised that this is a yellow card.
Ronaldo's going to get a yellow.
It's Anderson.
A bit of a reaction here.
A piece of lake here.
Out there, who could have been blocked out?
Oh.
But an incident at the start of the second half would change that.
A yellow card dished out to Marcelo.
Oh, he's flipped the card out of the referee's hand, he's in trouble, he's off.
Oh, absolutely.
Leon down to ten men, with only four minutes gone in this second period.
Dismissed the player.
He could have done with VAR on that game, which might have, who knows, might have turned out a little bit different.
Offensive head-to-head, here we go.
Jumping into the second half.
Danny Welbeck with the finish and presumably the lead.
But then again the decision.
Handball by Alexis McAllister.
That's why the hit counts again.
Next, Delini.
And now here we have the Whitechapel.
Already a good game.
He's got a headshot in front of him.
That's the decision.
As usual, the top coach gets the lead.
He's involved.
Maurizio.
Chelsea, Maurizio, we're in for.
Ronaldo could be in big trouble.
Ronaldo is in big trouble.
This is the Champions League headline being written.
Ronaldo's first return to Spain since leaving Real Madrid.
Sees the European Champions League record scorer sent off.
In the first half an hour, Ronaldo is dismissed.
Possession by Havertz.
Oh, is that good?
That's pretty good.
Ronaldo waving it off.
He's weighing his Montpellier team now.
He's rather not asking him to stop provoking players.
It's just the way he plays football when the yellow card...
Here's Milner.
Defoe looking for room.
Lampard!
Oh, say the officials.
Oh, it's Wembley.
Over the line or not.
Yes, most definitely.
It's well over.
England have denied an equaliser.
Strike that shot.
You see it hit the bar.
You see it bounce down.
What are you thinking?
I knew it was a goal.
I knew instantly.
I haven't even seen the replay yet.
I don't need to.
It's a goal.
I like it.
It's a good change.
Jesus comes on having scored a couple of hat-tricks in this competition
when he was a Manchester City player.
Leandro Trostad scored in the last 16.
This is a penalty.
Scored worst off.
I think the referee...
I really hear a whistle there, I thought, initially at first.
And then Gabriel picked the ball up here after that.
Still hope for Bayern.
Pumped in towards Mats Raui.
Headed away by Rüdiger.
The flag's up.
Leitner thinks he's scored, but the flag was up way earlier than that.
He wants a tight one.
Very, very tight.
He should have put his flag up, shouldn't he?
Niklas Virchow comfortable with his man.
It's a goal.
Mesut Ozilla.
Good shot for Handball.
Reflexive shot.
Anthony Taylor unmoved by that appeal.
He immediately says no.
Arms down by the side.
It's well struck.
It's well played.
It's Johnson.
Threatened to go the other way with Haaland.
Not to start with, Mike.
What's he done there?
He nods it off.
Shalini.
...for their equaliser.
Ten minutes to go.
Mersena tries to clear it.
It's come off of Bibiana Steinhaus.
Does her.
And it's in.
My word.
What a strange goal for Kuiterpeer.
The attempted clearance deflected off of Bibiana Steinhaus.
That is what everybody will be talking about tomorrow.
Fitenya.
They want Handball now.
They're screaming for it.
Oh, no chance.
No.
Come on.
Up against Mbappé.
Massive moment.
Mbappé.
Oh, it's into the top corner.
Ice in his veins.
The talisman of Paris Saint-Germain.
With a penalty eight minutes into stoppage time.
Lacazette.
Mike Dean.
Ronaldo Silva.
A bit of trouble James Milner.
He's very, very lucky to stay on the pitch.
This is disgraceful.
Needs to go because he's 54 years of age, by the way.
It's a straight red.
Terrible.
...by Simon Hutham.
It's a red card.
And Sheffield United are down to ten men.
Chris Basham dismissed.
Chris Basham.
He's going to come back on.
They're able to repel it easily.
And De Gea is down.
It's rifled into the net by Emile Smith-Rogue.
Now the referee's got a decision to make.
One of his teammates and a goal is going to be given here.
Arsenal lead.
And it is the right decision.
It will be mired in controversy in the Manchester...
...record for games played without losing.
22 now.
Even if he only managed 41 of them at the start of his run-on.
...to see the replay.
Almost reluctantly gets it.
Jaco loves a little skirmish.
He's got to push and shove it.
And he's not doing that.
...unfortunate scene.
Joshua Kimmich provoked by the fans.
Demonstrates again how to score a win.
Let's see what's going on down here.
Will he get a spot on the knee?
Yes.
It is United who've won it.
No goals and often lacking any rhythm.
The last half-hour of the game heated.
The players failed to keep their discipline.
What a technique there.
And the reaction there is absolutely out of their time.
They're now squaring up to each other.
The referee's got some soft moves to do now.
Bruno Zalewski.
Now the yellow card.
And Matteo Politano has been...
...on the ground.
Here it is.
She kicks it away, look.
That was a very good game.
Caught here by Felipe Melo.
Red card.
On the move with Andy Robertson trailing behind him.
Fabinho with an all-time challenge.
What a big night it is for Divock Origi and Jordan Shaqiri.
Two players who have come in to fill the void.
What a night it's been.
You can't raise your hands in those situations.
It's ridiculous.
Since they've got here...
