You know, I've seen some great comebacks over the years. Teams I liked, teams I didn't like, teams I didn't even know. Liverpool 2005, Sweden 2014, Newcastle 2011 rank among the best for me. Even for teams I didn't know or like, there was still this feeling behind it of innate "wowness". You can't help but be impressed and affected by the emotions somehow.
But with yesterday's match, there's nothing. It's just hollow and empty. There is something about it that's just not right.
yeah I can't enjoy it because the refball was too blatant

Austin Myers
I am not saying it is scripted, but it honestly feels like it is. It's just too far fetched. I despise both clubs now.
Brayden Rogers
Only Barca bandwaggoners and plastics remember last night as something positive
Everyone remembers it as uefalona part 2 Electric bongaloo
Nicholas Adams
I seriously don't understand how you guys could actually believe there is some sort of conspiracy going in between UEFA to help Barcelona, especially seeing as they consistently get the toughest draw. Do you also browse /x/?
Camden Phillips
What I saw was a small team capitulating, abdicating from playing football and being cowards.
Juan Cruz
shitty reffing, not necessarily a complex conspiracy
Liam Cook
Why not add replays and challenges to rulings then? If football refuses to add this kind of technology there's 0 reason to complain about mistakes
Ethan Cook
I want all of that, but its not my decision
Adam Ross
But user how will Uefa earn money from bribes if technology is introduced
They are still in defecit after losing all that Money from goal line technology
Ethan Jones
We're actually at part 3 with this round of refball.

how come you forget Ac Milan vs Deportivo. One of the greatest come backs of champion league history.

It' not a conspiracy, it's the same "Bigger team getting the decisions going their way" that you see all the time
Evan Wood
Mostly because they have better players who have fouls committed against them on a regular basis which stand out from their otherwise amazing flair on the ball.

>unironically claiming it was just refball when they scored 6 goals
Aiden Price
2 penalties denied to PSG
2 bullshit penalties to cancerlona
1 offside goal
Leo Martin
Which goal was offside?
Charles Miller
i know that feel i didn't feel joy. I was a neutral in the match. But the ref helped barca so much it's unbelieveable. And ofcourse barca wins in the last minute. just as planned.
Jonathan Campbell
at least 4 out 6 goals were legit
that neymar penalty is penalty anywhere in the goal
and yes, Suarez dived in the second one, but the defender was dumb enough to put his elbow near Suarez face
Mascherano hand is not penalty because hes sliding and has no way to avoid the ball going to his hand. Learn the rules you stupid drugcakemuncher.
Asher Hernandez
If Cavani had of taken that chance at 3-1, it would have been game over
Jason Moore
>refball >6 goals
holy fuck how mad
Alexander Hall
>implying it's Barca, or UEFA's fault that Cavani and Di Maria are choke artists
Alexander Sullivan
You seem to have a thing for games ending in ties.
Owen Carter
Because ultimately, it's Barca going through, not an underdog.At the beginning of the night, before a ball was kicked let's be honest, this was seen as a very real possibility.A collection of some of the best players in the world are able to plenty of goals like they have done all season.Big deal.I'd say if Leicester managed to pull back the deficit against Sevilla it would be a bigger upset.
Michael Ross
Ac Milan on their prime beats Deportivo 4:1 and mediocre Deportivo comes back with 4:0. Seems like you're baised mate
Christopher Bailey
Barca got a healthy dose of refball as usual, but it's not the whole reason they won, and I'm not even a Barca fan. It was mostly PSG shitting the bed like always in Europe.
You need one of those Xavi/Pirlo/Xabi Alonso type playmakers to do well in the CL, so your team can dictate the tempo and your players aren't gassed at the end from chasing the ball all the time, like PSG was today.
Kevin Brown
This is it, really. It should say something that the first leg was much more of a surprise than the second.
Aiden Long
how about the clearly penalty on di maria by mascherano?
surely if you're going to give weak penalties like the semidive from neymar and the blatant dive from suarez (the barca players were just flopping in the area all the time at that point, which is why also the refereeing was so ridicolous making this pathetic divers to keep doing it), surely, you must give that somewhat weak penalty to psg too
ref were scandalous the other night. Surely barca was destroying psg, but with proper refeering they would have never achieved 6-1
I'm not mad, in the sense that I don't hate barca or support psg, I only support the game, an the other night was sad, death of football,the reason why uefa and europe and pretty much all big footbal (with a lot of money in it) sucks.
I guess I'll stick to local clubs or abandon this sad sport for real, even f1 is less sad
Nolan Clark
Barcelona had nothing to do with the scripting, it was just between Uefa and PSG. Uefa saw the great opportunity for a massive comeback which would bosst the popularity of their competition a lot (like the Superbowl), so they decided to pay PSG to play incredibly bad, they also paid the ref in case Barca would be too shit, which was the case, hence the second penalty
Jack Edwards
Why would PSG score?
Jaxson Watson
6-1 is way more entertaining than 5-0
Zachary Gray
>Uefa saw the great opportunity for a massive comeback which would bosst the popularity of their competition a lot (like the Superbowl), so they decided to pay PSG to play incredibly bad
The scary thing is, this doesn't even sound so far-fetched at this point.
Barcelona is literally the fucking centre of attention every CL, at least every year SOMETHING happens to write about. This year, suddenly, they were unexpectedly humiliated in the RO16, the fucking RO16.
And then, before the return match which should have been a formality, all the media go "CAN THEY DO IT CAN THEY DO IT?" "NO TEAM HAS EVER OVERTURNED A 4-0 DEFICIT" and lo and behold, PSG play their worst game ever.
Nearly every year they get Barcelona, and every year they got knocked out. Now they have a 4-0 lead, an away goal and a team that is everything but shit. Do you think players of the fucking calibre Cavani, Di Maria, Verratti let something like that slip?
Then there's the penalty calls for PSG, the Suarez dive...
Taken into consideration that Barcelona have a reputation for being favoured by UEFA and a reputation for bribing (and in general, using money to circumvent rules) and the amount of money people would lose if they got knocked out so early.
The match just didn't feel natural.
Nolan Bailey
This coming from a RMA fan, but you people are insane. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug it seems.
Benjamin Cruz
>PSG completed just FOUR passes between the 85th minute and full-time.
>THREE of those were from kick-off after conceding Barcelona goals.
After Cavani's goal it was like a fucking graveyard there lol
Nathan Walker
Maybe if those choke masters at PSG didn't try a mother fucking offside trap in the LAST PLAY of the game they would've gone through.
But no, it was the ref i guess.
Oliver Rodriguez
Surorisingly, it wasn't. The crowd was cheering even when they thought they had lost because they thought that the team had done their best and that the result was pretty much unavoidable at that point. Maybe it was not the liveliest of places but it was by no means dead.
