A controversial extra time goal from Rolando sees Marseille reach the Europa League final at the expense of Salzburg
This controversial Rolando goal vs Salzburg put Marseille into the Europa League final at the expense of their Austrian opponents. Salzburg, trailing 2-0 from the first leg, took the game to extra time with two second half goals. Deep into second half injury time, Marseille were awarded a corner that should not have been a corner, with the ball taking a deflection off OM player Ocampos. However a corner was awarded to Marseille and Rolando nodded in from Payet’s set piece.
One of several examples of poor refereeing in the 2017/18 season- another being Marcelo’s handball not penalised v Bayern.
The latest installment of the famed El Clasico rivalry sees Barcelona lock horns with arch rivals Real Madrid at the Nou Camp on Sunday evening. The game is obviously a highly awaited one for fans and pundits alike but has been overshadowed with Real saying that they will not giving their arch rivals a “Pasillo”, or a guard of honour, ahead of this game. Deportivo gave one to Barcelona last weekend to recognise the Catalan outfit’s Copa del Rey triumph, and so did West Ham up north in England to newly crowned champions Manchester City.
