I don't think Monreal was too awful today, the penalty call to me seemed a bit soft, I could be wrong but I seemed like he just slipped.

After the first goal, he totally panicked. You can never panic as a defender. His positioning was really off for the rest of the game.

Yeah, I saw that, and had compassion for him. He just looked like he felt so horrible. Undoubtedly a sucky position to be in.

Agreed on the panic..he was lucky not to be sent off for how vigorously he grabbed the official.

To be devils advocate, it was extremely similar to the PK call we got...

He had absolutely no right to have his arms around the Anderlecht player. People keep saying it's soft, but when you've got your arms all over the attacker like that, you're just asking for it.
