Did one of the useless lads behind the goal actually make a call?

Yes, on the phone when he should have been watching the game!

Headed on to his hand? Is that a handball?

It did change the direction of the ball though.

vidal will never last the full 90.

NIMAN

Awful header.

If he would practice headers in training instead of tricks then Barca would be 3-1 up now.

Unfortunate, but still trying to claim it was his shoulder.

I'd say accidental. If you can't give goals for that. You have to give peno's for when the ball is blasted straight at your arms in the box when they are down by your side.

efb

Worth $5 mill????

Say Your Number

When you have to deal with mindf*cks like that I'm glad I'm not a ref.

That would have been it.

gebbel

Harsh but a more convincing header by Neymar was needed.

He directed it with his own head!!!!

What the fcuk is Ray Houghton on about. He headed the ball onto his hand and diverted the flight of the ball. No goal and rightly so.

greendom

Brilliant from Evra on Messi

Strumms

Why does Ray Houghton, a former professional footballer and co-commentator not realise that as per the laws of the game that 'intent' doesn't have to be involved for a free kick to be awarded ?

Giggsy11

What a tackle by Evra..

whatawaster

Really one of the worst misses you'll ever see in the end from Neymar. Terrible technique

mewe

Fair play to the assistant. It would have been a mile wide had it not hit his hand-so from that perspective good call. Never a deliberate handball though!

Yes I agree, Houghton's comments had me doubting but what he said makes no sense.

I just turned RTE off. He's a joke.

A fuzzy sky sports picture is better than houghton commentating in hd

Neymar shouldn't be scuffing that header. Saying that, I'd call it an accidental handball if that was the kids I was coaching doing that. It did change the flight of the ball.

That Barca keeper is fair dodgy

ConstantJoe

Hard to take players (even brilliant players like Neymar) seriously when they're willing to outright lie to the referee. Bad form.

Townsend spouting similar shyte on ITV

I don't know what the handball rule is these days. UTV lads are happy it was a correct call because it could never have been intentional

LuckyGent88

How did Neymar miss the bloody header in the first place.

Mars Bar

5v3 counter attack is dream stuff for Barca

ITV HD?

NIMAN

If Neymar was as good at headers as he is at rolling around,..........

gebbel

Jesus Juve you can't let them run at you like that or you're well and truly fooked!

Peist2007

Vidal is as combative a player as i have ever seen. A warrior

Turtyturd

Love the magic healing powers of the ref's whistle over 'Louie'.

Should let Suarez take it

I thought Andy wasn't happy as he saw it as unintentional

Pirlo has been awful

Talib Fiasco

What a moment

Healed Neymar jr too

Peist2007

Some run from Suarez to be in position for that rebound, he adjusted in a split second and got the far side of the defender. Class

Poor goalkeeping though

Mars Bar

It would make for a wonderful final 10 minutes if Juventus got a second.

bradlente

Every Juve corner looks as likely to end up with a chance for Barce the way they're breaking,should be a great finish there's more goals yet you feel.

Talib Fiasco

Harsh on Vidal. Lot more energy in him.

greendom

Great jump from Pogba - shame he couldn't keep it down

While he is- he easily could have been sent off

Strumms

Chance from Pogba with the header.. Seemed to take his eye off it.

machiavellianme

So, the 40 people who said it were right. Vidal didn't make the 90.

Headshot

Have to say Messi has been really poor by his high standards
