Keane criticizes Barcelona selfies despite ‘amazing’ win
How did they do it?
After falling three goals behind, PSG secured what seemed to be a vital away goal, courtesy of Edinson Cavani, to briefly take the wind out of Barcelona‘s sails.
Paris Saint-Germain’s former coach Vahid Halilhodzic believes that a resounding defeat against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League will affect the French club for years to come.
“This is Barcelona, the best team in the world and we want to continue our dream in the Champions League”.
As the ball dropped and PSG goalkeeper Trapp hesitated to punch clear, Suarez was alert to head the ball in, which was then hacked out from under the net but it had clearly crossed the line.
Enrique – one of the few men who can claim to have played for both La Liga giants Barca and Real Madrid – never won the Champions League as a player although he did win the old Cup Winners’ Cup with the Catalan side in 1996/97.
Goal 1: Luis Suarez for Barcelona – Suarez leaps highest inside the box with some weak defending by PSG and the Uruguayan capitalises on the chance.
PSG is owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, and has risen to the elite of European football over the past decade.
The French defense was again at fault when Thomas Meunier lacked the pace to keep up with Neymar as he sped past him and into the area in an attempt to reach a well-placed through ball from Iniesta.
If the Blaugrana can nail 5 goals while keeping PSG to a clean sheet, it may be one of the most unbelievable comeback wins in recent history. “It will be about how PSG players answer if Barca score first; how Barca respond if it is immediately hard and don’t get that goal”, he says.
Barcelona no doubt will be seen as favourites to carry off the trophy but they will have to defend much better than they did in the two legs against PSG.
Barcelona was done for, needing three goals with the clock ticking down.
In the 88th minute he curled a brilliant free kick into the top corner.
Barcelona quickly added another goal.
“If this has proved anything, it is that Barcelona are made for these games”.
Since Luis Enrique took over in the 2014-15 season, Barcelona outscored opponents by four goals or more in 27 of the 79 matches it played at the Camp Nou, meaning it earned the result it needs on Wednesday once in almost every three matches. Looking back, despite their goal, I feel that our performance was impressive, we risked a lot and it was worth it.
