there is no argument for he didnt hear so we can stop talking about that one lol.
There was enough time for him to back out of the shot (I think he was trying to lob GK who was off his line) but i think he just had a momentary lapse in judgement, ok to admit, and went for it. Whether that was just trying to kill some time, be a bit sheytoon, or whatever the case is it was naive to do that.
But its really hard to not argue the harshness of the decision. Esp when you consider the fact alex sandro on a yellow card committed 2 separate fouls to stop counter attacks, both of which were given as fouls and were clear yellow card offenses that were being given all night (like taremi's first yellow, but worse because he was stopping counters, not going for ball to start them) that suddenly ref didnt give. Cuadrado had similar situation.
The way juve players surrounded ref like vultures also made up his mind.
He will learn a harsh lesson from tonight though about controlling everything mentally in big moments (which is why we want our players to be on this stage, so they learn and when they come to WC for TM we do not look like an amateur side for the first 30 mins bc everybody is shitting their pants!). He is naturally a very cool so its weird to see him do something like that.
