FWEEE!
Another foul, a Rodri red card, and another Barcelona freekick.
By now, Manchester City's defenders saw freekicks this game as some kind of voodoo. Afterall, with it, Sam already traumatized this defense that came to Spain, Barcelona with determination to not let a single goal in.
And yet, that kid, Sam already let in 3, 2 from freekicks.
So you wouldn't blame them for being wary of freekicks.
And yet, this time, Rodri's challenge took out Raphinha from more than 30 yards away from the goal. Surely, there was no way this was another goalscoring chance for FC Barcelona, right?
Not just the defenders thought this way, the commentators also echoed their sentiments, showing how pessimistic they were.
Pessimistic? Maybe more like realistic.
"Wow, what do we have here?"
"Another freekick".
"Surely, it's too far away from goal, he wouldn't try it right?"
Tick! Tock!
Time ticked.
Badump! Badump!
