„Utkání se zlomilo červenou kartou a penaltou, jde vyloženě proti domácím,“ všiml si vicemistr Evropy z roku 1996 Ladislav Maier ve studiu Oneplay Sport.
Měl recht. Do dané chvíle bylo Bilbao aktivnější, ač prohrávalo 0:1. Jenže pálilo šance. Pak přišel nešťastný moment, který udělal ze sudího Espena Eskåse nepřítele číslo jedna v celém Baskicku.
Alejandro Garnacho z United s potížemi krotil kousek za rohem vápna míč, který mu brnkl do ruky. Pasem do křídla oslovil Noussaira Mazraouieho, ten stříleným centrem vybídl ke skórování Rasmuse Höjlunda. Jenže dánského forvarda ve stoprocentní šanci stáhl k zemi Vivian.

Bez možnosti či snahy hrát balon. Eskås po konzultaci s videem odpískal penaltu, což vedlo k první vlně protestů borců z Bilbaa. Ti se po zjištění, že bude následovat i červená, začali rozčilovat ještě vehementněji.
Dvojí trest Bilbao zničil.
„Prospíte půl sekundy, nezachytíte hráče a snažíte se to instinktivně uhasit. Z pohledu útočníka jasná situace, vidíte stoprocentní šanci na gól a někdo vás zatáhne. A podle pravidel i správně udělená červená karta. Při zatáhnutí za dres se dvojí trest neruší,“ vysvětloval plzeňský asistent Marek Bakoš v televizním studiu.
No jo, ale co ruka Garnacha, která akci předcházela? Proč ji sudí neřešili?
„Nevrátili se k ní, nevíme proč. Ale s penaltou a vyloučením souhlasím,“ pravil Maier.
„Protestovali jsme, protože Garnacho naprosto evidentně zahrál rukou. Byl to až příliš krutý trest,“ mrzelo kouče poražených Ernesta Valverdeho, jehož sudí rozzlobil i ve druhé půli. Maroan Sannadi svedl sprinterský souboj s Harrym Maguirem a když už se zdálo, že bude ze strany postupovat relativně osamocen na branku United, po souboji s anglickým chasníkem padl k zemi. Bez toho, aby se ozvala píšťalka sudího.
„Jasný faul. Jestli na červenou? To si netroufnu tvrdit,“ povzdechl Valverde.
V táboře Rudých ďáblů bylo naopak veselo. Finálový střet, do něhož má blízko po výhře 3:1 s norským Bodö/Glimt i anglický Tottenham, je na dosah. Hostit jej bude 21. května opět Bilbao.
„Fantastický výsledek. Toužíme po tom, aby se sem naši fanoušci podívali znovu,“ velí kapitán United Bruno Fernandes, jenž kromě proměněné penalty vstřelil i třetí gól utkání.

Thierry Henry awed by Lamine Yamal’s Champions League display: ‘It’s not normal to be like that at 17’
Getty Images There were many standout moments from Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Inter in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals on Wednesday, not least among them Lamine Yamal's latest statement-making performance that demonstrated that he is not only a star of the future but one of the game's current top talents.Yamal was central to Barcelona's strong attacking performance, taking four shots and creating two chances as the hosts put three past Inter. The 17-year-old had a big moment of his own, scoring in the 24th minute in a showcase of individual brilliance that kicked off Barcelona's comeback from 2-0 down. It was only the latest game in which Yamal left many speechless, including Thierry Henry. "What I witnessed tonight from Lamine Yamal … it's not normal to be like that at 17," Henry said during the UEFA […]
Azzi Fudd rocks the internet with unique nod to Paige Bueckers
In a recent TikTok video, UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd was seen dancing alongside Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee and TikTok creator Anna Frey. While the trio's dance moves garnered attention, it was Fudd's necklace-a heart-shaped pendant featuring the number "5"-that truly captivated fans. The number corresponds to the jersey worn by Fudd's close friend and former teammate, Paige Bueckers, during her time at UConn and now with the Dallas Wings in the WNBA . The video quickly went viral, with fans taking to social media to express their excitement and speculate about the necklace's significance. Comments ranged from playful to emotional, with one fan noting, "Now Paige..... lol she don't need a necklace with ur number," and another adding, "This is so cute I'm crying." The consensus among fans is that the necklace serves as a subtle tribute to Bueckers, […]
MLB picks, best baseball bets for Friday: Fading the White Sox with Framber Valdez, plus two Aaron Judge plays
Getty Images Hello and good Friday to you. I love good news and Friday generally is good news in and of itself for many people. Here, under the Matt Snyder byline on CBS Sports, Friday means it's time for another installment of picks, or, as I like to call this little exercise, Friday Night lines. There's a full slate of 15 games on Friday and they all come at night, so there's plenty of time to get that action in. All lines are from Draft Kings.Given how historically bad the White Sox have been these last two seasons, a good move is to find less obvious ways to fade them. As an example, the Astros are -245 on the moneyline today and even the run line (-1.5) is -135.In that case, how about plus money on a workhorse starting pitcher to […]
