You post this after possibly the craziest comeback ever?

A comeback that was only possible because of Suarez's cheating? I think it's somewhat pertinent.

Those PSG players - and fans - miss out on progress to the next round of the CL because of a cheat. I think that taints the comeback, personally.

I 'left early' stating that ''no team scores 3 in 7 minutes at this level apart from the miracle in Istanbul.'' :facepalm:

That was an unbelievable end to the game. That's why so many people love the game. Epic stuff.

A Danny Baker quote which seems appropriate for this:

"Football. ****ing football. Imagine not being into it. Those poor, poor half-alive *******s."

The Suárez diving aside, this game reminded me how bullshit the away goals rule is. Glad Barca won it just because going out on away goals is a nonsense

You could also place part of the blame for the comeback on the 11 players on the other team unable to hold onto a commanding first leg advantage.

Amazing and next to nobody watched it as on BT

Out of interest why would you say that? BT internet has over 9m subscribers, somewhat more than any other ISP, and 50% more than Sky Sports. As a provided of CL coverage they provide the opportunity to many more people than Sky ever did when they had the coverage of the competition.

8-1 wasn't a bad mistake after all :)

I think you owe the officials a beer. Where all the stoppage time came from I do not though. ???

But well done. :thumbsup: Barca were 33/1 before 7.45pm to win the Champions League. There's still a lot of hard work to lift the trophy.

Jesus H Christ. Just back from a lunch in Mexico City, TVs all around the restaurant were showing the game. Basically all conversation came to a halt. Unbelievable. Just amazing.

i would say that watching games on computer is a bit shit and not everyone is set up to patch in/cast to TV. and zero promotion of it on showcase, im with BT not even an email to trail it.

Think I heard on LBC a couple of days back they get around 1 million viewers for European Cup games generally.
