Not in the same ballpark imo. Admittedly they've got stronger competition but the knock-out factor (4 ties vs. 38 matches) shortens the odds.

What about Wolfsburg vs Atletico winning the league the other year.

Here's one good reason why we should be delighted.

Marcelo really is an unpleasant piece of work, isn't he.
And only the ref will know why the Wolfsburg player was given a yellow card.

Wolfsburg haven't even progressed in the tie yet ffs.

I think a lot of us have had a bit of this.
Lots of my students support Leicester, and have become a damn site more vocal about it over the course of the season. Nice to share that with them, makes a very pleasing change from the Man U/Chelsea/Arsenal endless circle from when I was at school near here.

Worst bit is UEFA won't look at Marcelo's action as it was dealt with as seen by the ref.
The sooner football brings a panel in to deal with simulation and punish it regardless of what the ref thinks he saw the better.

Yes, the non-action over Saurez was dire. Whilst it goes against the grain to sympathise with Simeone over anything (1998 and all that), you couldn't argue with him that the offical(s) bottled it.
As for Marcelo, if pushed I'd argue that he should actually have got two, or maybe even three yellows - one for the backwards stamp, one for the head but and finally for the simulation.
And going back to cpr's point, I wonder whether the ref did actually see the stamp or the head but. They weren't obvious from all angles.

He didn't, thats the thing. But he dealt with the 'incident' at the time by booking 2 other people, and thus UEFA thing its dealt with.
I'd say he could've been up for a red for the leg flick, just like Suarez could've. Also I'd make simulation for main the purpose of getting an opposition booked (as opposed to winning a free kick/penalty) a red card offence, with minimum 3 match ban (prefer 5 though). Otherwise theres no real loss to trying to get someone sent off, which is what Marcelo was clearly doing.

Allen's been pretty good every time I've seen him this season, although it's always been as a sub.
