I've just watched it three times and I'm still not convinced it is stonewall. The defender stumbles and throws his arms forward and gets in Neymar's way, but Neymar makes no attempt to skip around the flailing arm to get to the ball. He just extravagantly falls over the defender's arm. It is one of those that if that's your defender and not given, you're thinking "we might have got away with one there" but without conceding we should have conceded. Lewis Dunk at home to MK Dons last season was far more of a pen than that one I think.

I enjoy your posts, but you seem a bit jaded with this one!
It was an epic game, albeit with some criminal refereeing, and I'm someone who would rather go and watch a non league game then stay in and watch the 'champions' league.
I am in Spain at the moment, and watched the game in a dingy taberna , which no doubt enhanced the match for me. The place went nuts at the end, thoroughly enjoyable!

Proof football has no soul. These 4 knobbers jumping like they are full on supporters. Er, Owen you played for Real Madrid for Christ sake. Pathetic!

PSG should of had a Pen when Di Maria was brought down.
I expect Owen's passion was more likely to have been due to having a large wager on the game.

The champions league died years ago and to be fair I have no interest in any other match unless it involves Brighton or our rivals....all these plastic weird supporters bleating on about these types of matches need to get out more.

Lineker I get, he played for Barcelona. The other three?
They love scenes. Who doesn't love scenes?

So, would you cheer a Palace goal/victory if they ever had a European Cup night like this?

Don't be ****ing ridiculous. It wasn't like Ferdinand was celebrating a Liverpool goal was it? They just loved some good old scenes. Let's be honest, only Lineker actually celebrates, Rio and Gerrard just shout 'wow' and Michael Owen obviously just won a wedge on the result.
Do you own a Barca shirt
Nope, just appreciate some damn good scenes, and can't stand grumpy *******s

Jesus, talk about cynical some of you.
I haven't watched a champion's league game in years but after reading about this one watched the highlights, and what a match. Why on earth wouldn't those pundit types get excited if they still have a bit of a love for the game left in them?
That free kick was outstanding.
