Barca v PSG Free to air on BT Showcase

[simonclaret]

With the new Deal BT have agreed - there will be less chance to witness these types of games in the future

BT have committed to make highlights free and are discussing subletting of the rights to a terrestrial broadcaster. Could argue this is a little more generous than Sky's Premier League coverage.

Ditched it at 3-1 to watch City draw 0-0 with Stoke.

It puts some of our late capitulations in the shade.

That comeback dosent impress me much when you have Suarez and Neymar cheating PSG out of the game

[willsclarets]

I'm sorry but in any way you might choose to look at it, they won 6-1 in the champions league to the same team they lost 4-0 to a few weeks ago. That's unreal, and amazing.

[Dyched]

Saurez is horrible man. Horrible club. If that lot played in our league week in week out they'd be the most hated club. Ive never understood the barcelona love in over the past 10 years or so.

Aside from them arguably having the best club side in history, some amazingly talented players and playing a hugely attractive style of football.

A team that's had the likes of Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Alves to name but a few.

I can't understand why so many fans and pundits alike were and are so enamoured by them. The diving and spoiling isn't great I admit, but the football they play is for me what everyone should be aspiring towards - the beautiful game.

It was football meets WWF. Two nonsense penalties ultimately did for PSG against a Barca team that needed every little bit of help afforded to them by the officiating team tonight

[Dyched]

For as "great" and "beautiful" as the football is. They're cheats. Whenever they've done well in Europe they've cheated along they way.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

The acceptable face of cheating/gamesmanship.

FUN!

best game of footie ive seen in ever. You lot a load of lovvvies

[Darthlaw]

I also enjoy seeing cheats prosper.

[IndigoLake]

There was certainly some cheating going on (Suarez's blatant dive for the 2nd penalty) but Barcelona won 6-1...6-1! PSG were abysmal. No amount of 'oh, but they cheated' is going to change that. It was a magnificent comeback and this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly like FC Barcelona.

[SammyBoy]

Everyone probably agrees Barcelona have played the most attractive football of recent times, but I also think they get the rub of the green with regards to decisions an inordinate amount of the time, my personal favourite being when Van Persie got sent off for taking a shot after he'd been flagged offside.

[Darthlaw]

Maradona's cheating beat England, Henry's cheating beat Ireland. Both certainly more high profile but no doubt the purists will always remember Barcelona beat PSG 6-1 with cheating PSG out of one if not two penalties. It wont change the score and at the end of the day Barca do whatever it takes which is admirable.

I enjoy the comedy refereeing of the UEFA's flagship competition and the fact they celebrate cheats prospering, hence my original statement.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

If players insist on diving around 10 times in the box in a 90 minute period, unpunished by the ref,of course the cheats eventually win through. Naymar already on a booking after kicking through the back of a PSG player should have been carded twice after that incident for simulation

Remarkable how you can be so critical of Dyche's style of play what isn't beautiful about the long ball?
