3 minutes left and they were playing for the corner flag, f**k sake, just have a go at goal!

Could of and probably should have won that, but my main takaway was we wasn't scared of Barcelona, so hopefully this is a turning point against them.

That last chance for Carpenter was thinking if only it fell to Erin Cuthbert.

Even the official VAR still picture doesn't look offside - I've watched a few replays and still images as well.

Robbed against Barcelona again.

Tbf if we’re going to sneak him on to the bench we might as well just start him.

From the angle we got, it looked perfectly onside; timed her run well, great finish… and then up comes the flag and that’s it. No proper replay, no decent freeze frame, just a quick shrug from the commentary and we move on. For a decision that big in a game like this, that’s not good enough.

You’d think they’d at least show us a clear line or a couple of slow-mo angles to justify it, but nope. Nothing. Just “offside, play on”. It’s hard not to feel like it’s the same old story whenever we play Barcelona; every marginal thing seems to fall their way and we’re left guessing what actually happened.

If that was genuinely off then fair enough, but from what we were given on the broadcast it absolutely looked on to me, and the fact they didn’t want to show it again just makes it feel even more dodgy. Typical Barcelona situation, isn’t it?

I’d read the var wasn’t available after the power-cut, was that true or nah? Not that I’ve seen the incident, I’m just being outraged at the outcome without any context!

I've seen Carpenter make that exact run maybe a dozen times since she first broke onto the scene for club and country, and that was the first time she absolutely nailed the finish 😂. Great goal.
