Barca v PSG

Had nothing much to do or watch, so I put on the match on BT Sport tonight, forgetting that PSG were 4-0 from the 1st match. When I switched on after 20 mins, Barca were a goal up, and I just wanted to see some classy football. Just before 1/2 time they got another, and I thought this could be interesting!
Straight after the restart 3-0 with a dodgy pen, and I thought it's just a matter of time.
Unfortunately, though, despite all the pressure, PSG broke forward after about an hour and made it 3-1, meaning Barca would have had to score 3 more. No chance now.
With 2 mins to go, the Commentator said he was impressed with the fact that the ground wasn't emptying.
Just then they pulled 1 back, and the crowd hardly bothered cheering. 4-1 but PSG had an away goal.
2 mins later (93 mins) they scored again - 5-1. Then, with the last kick - with the goalie joining in upfront - they unbelievably made it 6-1. The greatest comeback ever, especially because 6 mins earlier it was dwindling into an obvious result.

The penalty decision and huge amounts of injury time were not suspicious at all.

Silly penalty decision, but I thought the ref had a really good game otherwise. Wasn't surprised at 5 mins injury time, which was calculated when the score was 3-1 or 4-1 - whatever, which at the time seemed academic.

I also luckily decided to watch this one the other night and enjoyed it hugely. It's games like this that remind me why I love Football and Sports in general, what it must have felt like for the diehard Barca fans in the stadium to see that unfold live.

Magnificent.

From barely cheering their 4th goal to wildly celebrating their 6th goal 3 mins later, no wonder half the grown men in the Stadium were crying buckets.
