UEFA Champions League/Europa League 7/8/9 March *** Spoilers ***

Defender is off balance and throws himself at the attacker and wipes him out. Monumentally stupid. He didn't slip and have no option but to take out the attacker, he chose to throw himself towards him. If that isn't a penalty I don't know what is.


He absolutely didn't, when he slips he falls in a straight line, he stumbles and where he's going is very obvious, certainly reeks of taking advantage of the situation like leaving your foot in on a keeper.
 
The attacker was behind the falling defender and could see where he was falling, instead of avoiding contact which would have been easy he just ran into him and flopped over.
Its not you job as the player in possession of the ball to avoid the opposition if they are flying about. If he had avoided the defender he would probably have lost the ball or at least been in a much worse position than if the player hadn't blocked off the obvious route he was taking. When at attacker is in the box, its up to the defender not to foul him.
 
And thats the end of that. Barcas defending has looked awful whenever PSG have threatened to attack but they have got away with it due to PSGs mistakes. That was bound to happen eventually.
 
haha, good, he's already dived in this game and got away with it, should be off. Disgraceful, look at him hanging his leg out, such a cheating ****.

I used to really love watching Barcelona years ago, but I honestly can't watch games with them except el Classico. When Real Madrid have Pepe and Ramos and are far less bad cheaters.... your team is a disgrace. I can't stand Neymar, I can't stand Neymar, Busquets, Mascherano, Alba, Alves(while he was there).

It's just watching a team cheat constantly despite how much quality they have.

I did kind of want the game to get to 4-4, then PSG score to make it a much worse feeling loss for Barca, oh well.
 
Utterly embarrassing dive. He was fishing for contact for a good couple of seconds.
 
May as well turn it off now, last 3 breaks in the play and PSG players have gone down 'injured', problem is that if Barca were winning they'd be doing the same and that's why we should have independent time keepers stopping the clock at every break in play.
