If you advance video of the incident frame-by-frame you'll see that Barnes contacts the ball first as he attempts to pass to a teammate. Matic intercepts the pass and his leg is struck by the follow through of Barne's leg. It's an unfortunate collision, but I don't see the horrific foul that is being alleged.
Advance it frame by frame. Barnes hits the ball first.

I don't blame Matic for his reaction. I would've done the exact same for something that could've potentially ended my football career.

You don't even need to go frame by frame to see Barnes hit the ball first - no foul
Matic was fine since he had no issues running after him
Nothing to see here folks....move on

Should have been a red.

Agree it likely wasn't a foul - but even if it were that doesn't justify attacking the other player. Like it or not there are refs on the field and it's up to them to decide. You'd hope professionals would keep their cool but obviously not all can. Based on the speed he was running it wasn't a "career ending injury" either.

One of these side foot tackles and your football career could be over. I bet none of you on this forum even played competitive football, yet played football for a living.
If someone came into a tackle like that, I'd be pissed off as hell and be inclined to throw a couple of punches. I actually think Matic kept his cool, if someone tackled me like that when I was playing, I would punch the guy out.
You don't tackle a player like that. It's just a footballing law only football players would understand. It's just like you don't go helmet first into a tackle in American football.

All you parents who can't even juggle more than 5 times wouldn't understand the implications of such a tackle like this. Matic's reaction was justified. I fully stand behind any player who will stand up for himself when a tackle like that is committed.
