My Twitter feed still has smoke coming out of its ears.
Just when you couldn't dislike Luis Suarez any more, he dives likes he's been shot to win that 2nd penalty.
The ref played a real homer tonight, Di Maria should have had a penalty too.

Analyst (non-Catalan obviously 😉) on Spanish TV admitted that that should've been his ticket out of the game (2nd yellow). All the diving that went on will be lost in the dramatic outcome, of course. Who'd be a ref?!
Both Barca penalties were very dodgy and felt PSG should've had one. Glad all the same not a big fan of PSG.
Amazing stuff. Hairs breath for offside for the winning goal, great composure by the free-taker and scorer though. 3 goals from 88 minutes on, crowd still very subdued after 4th goal went in, looked all over. PSG goal should've been a killer, especially coming when it did. Good riddance to them anyway!
Agree the penos were very dodgy, funny enough I read somewhere that L'equipe said both were penos.,But I think PSG shot themselves in the foot, they had a 4-0 lead and didn`t need to sit back so much, inviting teams into your area is looking for trouble in soccer, most players go down nowadays with the slightest contact.
Cheating is now an accepted tactic in football and Barca used it to great affect. Don't blame Suarez, if he didn't do it another player would. Bar what was an amazing comeback the game at the top has become thoroughly unlikeable in my view.

I think the first was a definite penalty, took the man out, albeit not deliberately, but the second was definitely a case of Suarez hitting the deck with the lightest touch.
Not a great fan of the game, but I like to watch it played at the highest level as it tends to occasionally produce cracking moments of brilliance etc. Last night was vulgar in the way cheating was celebrated, but my word, an absolutely amazing drama from start to finish. And while I know he wasn't brilliant last night, I could watch Lionel Messi all day long. He's set such a high standard for himself that even though he was very good last night, you kind of feel disappointed when he doesn't set the game alight. Last night was Neymar's turn! For those couple of players alone, I find it hard to dislike Barca. The spectacle of Messi turning defenders inside out is unmatched on the stage at present, is something I'll never get sick of seeing. He's the best footballer I've ever seen.

Don't think he took him out, Neymar kind of 'made sure' he 'fell' over him. Seems the dude beside the goal (5th/6th official?) gave it, even though he'd a worse view of it than the ref. I've never understood why those dude stand on the same side of the goal that the linesman is already covering? Surely they should cover the other side?
Wouldn't agree he had a worse view of it, the ref initially said it wasn't a peno and after consulting with other guy he changed his mind, whether it was a peno or not I think it is good that the ref has the help of the other officials. I am not in favour of diving or whatever, but I never really got why there is general uproar when a guy dives as it is considered cheating, but if a guy makes an intional foul it is considered a foul and no more than that, surely both are cheatring. I mean players get commended for taking a card for the team, is it not a case of double standards?
