A fan has cited referee Deniz
Aytekin's performance in the
encounter as a good enough
reason to have the remarkable
comeback wiped from the record
A petition calling for Barcelona's 6-1
win over Paris Saint-Germain in the
Champions League to be replayed has
received the support of over 100,000
signatures.
Neymar to miss Deportivo clash
Barca appeared to be on their way out
of the competition after they lost 4-0
to the Ligue 1 side in the first-leg of
their second round tie. However, Luis
Enrique's men became the first team
to overcome a first-leg deficit of that
magnitude when they demolished
PSG at Camp Nou.
Referee Deniz Aytekin was heavily
criticised for his performance in the
game, giving the home side two
penalties, and reports circulated that
he could be demoted as a result .
While PSG fans felt aggrieved at some
of his decisions, one man, Luis
Melendo Olmedo, wants the thriller at
Camp Nou to be repeated.
The request was set up on
Change.org , which allows people to
post various petitions on issues such
as women's rights, immigration, war
and discrimination.
Luis Enrique: We've won nothing yet
According to Olmedo, the thrilling
encounter must be revisited because
of "incidents that seriously
damaged PSG. As a result of the
German referee Deniz Aytekin, who
gave Barcelona an advantage with his
refereeing decisions."
The target number of signatures for
Olmedo's petition is 150,000 and he
has a huge amount of support - flying
well past the halfway mark.
