Ok I know we're all hockey fans who HATE diving and refuse to acknowledge anything if there's even a hint of embeishment but...
I have a confession... I spent the last decade hating Barcelona and not enjoying the greatest player of all time on (arguably) the best teams of all time. I tune in tonight and all I see is magic. The way Barcelona play, see the ball, move the ball, even make runs - it's on a higher level.
The ref wasn't great, but I think justice prevailed overall. PSG didn't play defense well, they didn't play offense well, they did nothing right. Justice prevailed like it did when Chelsea, through all odds, managed to beat Barcelona that time in 2012. This time Barcelona got some of that meme magic and did it. Tremendous.
What a beautiful sport. Unbelievable. All credit to Barcelona. Yes, that Suarez call is borderline AT BEST. Yes, we didn't even see replays of di Maria's penalty shout. But Sergio's goal? Neymar's curler? The penalty itself? Gorgeous. Even regular passes in the last fifteen minutes were gorgeous. Barcelona is just a magical club. I hope Bayern face them (and crush them) but folks should really open up and see how beautiful they play.
Those fans who were crying in the stands... someday I wish to experience that joy for my hockey team.
