Never seen it done before, slight element of taking the piss out of the opposition mind.

Cruyff has done it before apparently. Pires-Henry tried and failed miserably in a PL game.

Wonder if Suarez had encroached?!

Looks like he did but it was so extraordinary that i'm sure we can let them off! Counts as a penalty miss for Messi and an assist at the same time!

Suarez was just inside the box when Messi hit the ball. Neymar is claiming it was actually meant for him.

Messi's free-kick was of course pretty damn decent, but their second was sublime. A delicate chip from Messi, and a nice finish from Suarez.

The second half of that game yesterday was possibly the most audacious footballing spectacle in the history of the game. Barcelona literally took the p*ss out of a decent La Liga side

Ha yeah... people think its great for the game that Leicester win, but you compare them to the Spanish champions elect, and its embarrassing for English football.

Its like comparing Picasso to the pictures my 5 year old daughter draws at play school

Most of Picasso's paintings were the standard of a five year old's imo!

The penalty overstepping the piss taking mark for me. A brilliant team with a certain lack of humility.

The penalty aside, which is pretty disrespectful, their football at times yesterday was mind blowing. Possibly the best team ever playing at their highest level....

I guess as well, there is always the chance that doing a penalty like that leads to a "Kermogant"

When you can't quite understand how someone has done something in real time, that is sheer genius. I'm referring to the Neymar assist for the Suarez tap in. All happened in the blink of an eye, amazing.

That was a more akin to lunacy as it was in a crucial penalty shootout.

Eddie wouldn't have let him get away with that when he was at Bournemouth!

Still makes me laugh when I hear that song the Leicester fan made using the music from "Total Eclipse of the Heart".... his version was called "Totally sh*t from the start" and is an ode to Kermogants time at the club

Finally saw the Barca penalty.

Ive seen something similar before. I wonder if others will try to copy it now.

Arsenal tried it and failed.

This one was a failure as well, or should have been, cos Suarez was in the box.
