5 GIFs from the weekend - Almost champions
Horrendous penalties, nutmegs, slaloms and missed tap-in, waiting for the first verdicts
April 8th, 2019
It could have been the weekend for the first title assignment, both in Serie A and in Ligue 1, but Juventus and PSG will have to wait another week to celebrate. After the 2-1 against Milan arrived in a cloud of referee's controversy, the bianconeri have already put the champagne in the fridge. The fight is getting thicker in fourth place (five teams in four points): Inter and Atalanta draw at the San Siro; Lazio, Toro and Fiorentina fail to win, the only one to take advantage is De Rossi's Roma.
From abroad: Barça beats Atletico and close the first place race; Bayern humiliates again Borussia Dortmund and overtakes them again; also Liverpool managed to overcome Man. City thanks to a late Salah goal and Ajax on the PSV. Manchester City vs Watford will be the FA Cup final.
# Maicosuel 2.0
We haven't seen a penalty so horrible for a long time: all thanks to the former Udinese left-back Ali Adnan, just arrived in MLS, in Vancouver.
# Kean under Musacchio legs
The magic moment of the 19-year-old never ends: not only the winning goal against AC Milan but also a humiliating nutmeg on the Argentinian centre-back.
# Deulofeu show
Watford is 2-0 down in the FA Cup semi-final, the former Barça and Milan came in and the match changes: two goals and a winning comeback.
# Miss of the year?
If PSG had to postpone the celebration for the Ligue 1 title it is also because of Maxim Choupo-Moting, who managed to miss this goal. The images speak for themselves.
# OMG Hatem
If you have the talent in your DNA, making a goal like that shouldn't surprise you that much. Thanks for existing, Ben Arfa.
