I definitely agree on the Antoine Griezmann red card. I know that the Champions League is prestigious, historic, and you can't really mess around in it, but the game was just fun until the card came. Any red card equals quite an offense, and it certainly was one. (I do think Griezmann's emotions got the better of him, as that was a risky play to fly in to.)
There was everything you could ask for in the match: Goals, a comeback, a penalty, an excited stadium that's sound was on for 90 minutes... What the UCL is about.
Two contrasting tactical schemes by two great managers and teams. And it was a pretty even game until…. Totally correct call.
