Would you love to see a replay of the Barca/PSG match?
A petition demanding the replay of the Barcelona Vs PSG UEFA Champions League last 16 tie has been launched on change.org and it has garnered more than 100, 000 signatures. Recall that the Catalans overturned their 4-0 deficit in the first leg and won the match 6-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
The petition was launched by a very irate Real Madrid fan named Luis Melendo Olmendo.
Melendo who criticized the referee, Deniz Aytekin for being partial cited arbitration errors in the match.
He opined that Luis Suarez’s goal in the third minute was offside, while a penalty should have been awarded against Mascherano in the 11th minute. He claimed Gerard Pique should have been sent off in the 23rd minute and that PSG’s Edinson Cavani didn’t deserve the yellow card awarded to him, he said Pique should have been the recipient. He also faulted the three minutes extra time in the first half.
He maintained that the 48th minute penalty awarded to Barca courtesy of Neymar was a deliberate simulation by the Brazilian and that that he ought to have been sent off at the 64th minute for aggression. He added that PSG deserved a penalty when Mascherano brought down Angel Di Maria, the five minutes added time was too much and lastly, Suarez should have been sent off for diving again.
