Don’t think Palmeiras completed three passes in ET. Moment we took Lukaku off our pressing came into full effect. They were crumbling and a mistake was imminent.
Palmeiras were playing for penalties, that was obvious. Once they made it 1-1 the goal for them was to get to pens so of course you guys had all the possession. But besides Pulisic's deflected shot that hit the bar, did you even create another good chance? Looked like this game could have been another hour and nobody would have scored. Then out of nothing the handball. Which I personally think was a horrible call. How can someone move their hand away when you are that close and the ball is hit that hard? And the way he was moving for the cross, it was not unnatural to be in that position. I'm not surprised it was called but it seemed harsh.
You don’t know that. We scored against the mighty Plymouth in ET from nothing. I don’t disagree with you. Our attack is stale but our pressing game is genuinely one of the best in Europe once implemented. And our penalty was just as much as penalty as theirs.
Cesar Azpilicueta: "I expected the Palmeiras players to come around the penalty taker. I already told Kai he was going to shoot. I just tried to release the pressure from him, be more calm. With three minutes to go, it's an important moment. It worked!"
