Barcelona hit PSG for six in historic late fight back

“I understand there were many people who wanted to bury us, but we’ve shown we are still here, and we want to win”. Wednesday night at the Nou Camp was all about the love of the game.

“I say to Sergi Roberto: ‘You used to score for the youth team, why do you never do it for the first team?”.

Gerrard said that it is very hard to press high against Barcelona at the Nou Camp, and questioned why PSG appeared to play right into Barca’s hands with their tactics.

“When I woke up, I wasn’t sure if it hadn’t all been a dream”, the Spaniard told Barca TV.

It was a match that had everything, including some spectacular moments, not least Neymar’s exquisite tide-turning free-kick. Enrique, who has won eight out of a possible 10 trophies as Barca coach and could claim another treble in his final season, has often declared to be unaffected by criticism. This was also to be the catalyst for Chelsea winning their first ever Champions League title, which included dramatic wins against Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the semi-final and final respectively.

“I have mine as chairman and CEO, the leaders of the sporting sector have theirs, the coach and the players have theirs too”.

“The way they played in the first game, pressing high, it worked so well, why go away from that?” the former Manchester United defender said.

Trapp struggled to cope with the early pressure and flapped at a high ball, allowing Suarez to jump ahead of him and force the ball over the line.

“Everyone could see it was a penalty on Angel [Di Maria] and that would have taken us back to 3-2 and killed the suspense”. We lost 6-1, so it was not the referee’s fault.

“We will discuss what changes we need during the pre-season”.

Thiago said: “It’s inexplicable, we just didn’t play tonight”. It was one of the worst performances by Barcelona and they were outplayed by PSG.

“We were calmer in the second half and better positioned”.

“It’s not an excuse, but there was no foul on Suarez for the penalty, and we could have had a penalty of our own”.

Veteran midfielder Thiago Motta, who did not play in either leg of the last-16 clash, was recorded on video bumping into one of the supporters present in his auto, the Italy international’s agent, Alessandro Canovi, confirmed to Le Parisien.
