Incredible! Petition launched to get Barça's win over PSG replayed
A supporter has detailed the reasons he believes the Champions League game should be played again
Barcelona's spectacular comeback against PSG is still having consequences. The latest features a fan, Luis Melendo Olmedo, who has started a campaign to get signatures through change.org with the intention of getting the Champions League match replayed.
The petition says: "Hello everyone, I am Luis Melendo Olmedo I would like to ask for Barcelona-PSG to be played again for the following motives: INCIDENTS which seriously damaged PSG. As a consequence of the refereeing of the German Deniz Aytekin, Barcelona benefitted. For that reason, I request his disqualification as a referee."
Luis Melendo then says he will "attach evidence" for anyone who wishes to see it and lists the decisions which he feels were incorrect and clearly favoured Barça.
Incredibly, the petition has been signed by over 70,000 people.
Here are the moments which are the subject of the complaint:
-- Minute 2: Offside goal by Luis Suarez
-- Minute 11: Uncalled penalty on Javier Mascherano forusing his hands inside the area.
-- Minute 23: Red card not given to Pique.
-- Minute 42: What should have been a second yellow for Gerard Pique turned into Edinson Cavani being booked.
-- Minute 45: Three and a half minutes of added time.
-- Minute 48: Non-existent penalty on Neymar, who deliberately sought contact.
-- Minute 54: Neymar simulates a penalty again. A card was not issued.
-- Minute 64: Act of aggression by Neymar, who deserved to be sent off.
-- Minute 78: Hand-ball by Pique inside the box. Not called.
-- Minute 85: Uncalled penalty on Mascherano for taking down Angel Di Maria inside the box.
-- Minute 89: Blatant dive by Suarez that somehow earned a penalty.
-- Minute 90: Five minutes of added time (until Barcelona score).
-- Minute 92: Suarez deserved to be shown a second yellow card for simulating a penalty.
