Barn Door Billy would have mised though.
Have you seen some of the other Barcelona goals from that match? Sheer beauty.

The final 30 mins was outstanding football. Interplay, skill, teamwork and quality finishes.

All the goals from last night's game - the last 30 minutes of the game are a perfect example of why I love football and love seeing it played that way. Superb skill, technique and flair - not just another drab game with nothing memorable.
I love players and teams who are capable of that stuff, whether it be in football or other sports. Look at Senna and Ali, to name but two examples from other sports of people who were capable of doing what they did in such a way as to raise it above the way most others do it - there's just something about that that does it for me. It's the same reason why I loved watching Vicente in full flow for us, just something out of the ordinary that really can be worth the price of admission on its own.

I didn't think that legal
Thought only one player from same side could touch the ball until oppo had a touch

The only rules are the ball must move forward before another player kicks it. Barcas was completely legit.
Technically, the arsenal one should have been retaken as, when piers went to roll it to Henry, I don't believe took one full revolution.

Looks like a competitively fought encounter. Did any of the Celta Vigo players break into a moderate jog at any point during the match?

Obviously you didn't watch it. Prior to the 3rd Barcelona goal Celta Vigo should have been at least level at 2-2.

Obviously I didn't, which is why I commented on the scoreline and asked a rhetorical question.
I'm sure it was a stern test.

Obviously you're rather a smug, self-satisfied little fellow.

What's remarkable about the Trebilcock penalty is how almost everyone stayed rooted to the spot and how the keeper nearly gets to the ball:
