A lot of great performances last night but I’m going to highlight the excellence of Kieran Trippier who is the best right back I’ve seen turn out for us in the 50+ years I’ve been going to see #NUFC play - by a distance.

There were 4 yellow card decisions in the first half - only Tonali was booked. The other 3 were committed by Barca players.

There are others but if you watched the game you’d know.

Proud of every #NUFC player tonight - we were excellent. We have to beat referees and some of the blatant favouritism to Barcelona tonight was incredible. Disgusting decision making quite frankly - corruption? I don’t know but it would explain it as the decisions made no football sense at all.
