How the hell? Did that really happen?
As the world wakes up the morning after one of the greatest comebacks in football history, many Barcelona haters are still
shocked at how the Catalans progressed past PSG at the Camp Nou.
Three key incidents in the game went Barcelona’s way, as many believed Luis Enrique’s benefitted from biased refereeing decisions in the game.
Barcelona’s first penalty
Early in the second half, Leo Messi scored from the spot to put the Catalans 3-0 up.
The spot-kick was awarded after Neymar went down after a collision with the head of
falling PSG right-back Thomas Meunier.
Was the penalty a fair call? Many thought Neymar conned the ref running into the PSG
defender.
Mascherano should have been off
How in god’s name did Javier Mascherano not give away a second half penalty?
The Barcelona defender took out Angel di Maria in the Catalan box just as the PSG forward was aiming at goal from a
breakaway attack.
Incredibly, Mascherano added he fouled Di Maria after the game, and yet the referee didn’t see it.
Insane.
Mascherano blatantly admits bringing Di Maria down in the box. But the media is too busy celebrating a scandal.

Luis Suarez’s mega dive
Barcelona’s fifth goal of the night was also a joke.
Without question, Luis Suarez flung himself to the turf to win a penalty in injury time.
It was never, ever a penalty. However the ref got conned once more.
