Playing with Onana is like playing before the 90s & the pass-back rule, when to waste time you could just boot the ball to your keeper for him to pick it up.
Whenever there's any pressure, Inter whack it back to Onana, who redistributes the ball so calmly. I love it 🇨🇲

Lots of people picking up on the, "We should stand against racism always but Vinicius doesn't help himself", which is a terrible line, but one that bugged me as well was:
"... That's what makes the Vinicius situation so complex."
It's not complex. The guy celebrated a goal with…
This whole situation is ludicrous.
Vinicius Jr was the subject of racial abuse, he’s then been put in a chokehold, VAR have told the referee to look at it, the footage shown to the ref didn’t show the choke and Vinicius Jr has been sent off.

Also in rewatch, a team that has intense pressers in their front line against Chelsea need to force the ball to Disasi. Noticeably slower at making decisions with passes compared to Silva, City didn't exploit it nearly enough!
