Barca v PSG
Dortmund v Benfica
City v Stoke in the league. Presume UEFA had to give permission since there's Champions League on, but they were probably like

Subs: Cillessen, Turan, Alcacer, Jordi Alba, Digne, Sergi Roberto, Andre Gomes.

PSG: Trapp, Meunier, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Kurzawa, Lucas Moura, Rabiot, Matuidi, Draxler, Verratti, Cavani.

So, can Barca succeed where Arsenal so memorably failed?

Go for Barca 1st half. They'll be attacking from the start.

So how many will City run in before half time then? Four? Five?

I'm gonna go with 3.

And we're off

For a nothing tackle. Rakitic goes in off the ground and no yellow.

Goal looked offside to me too

Was suarez not offside for the goal

Not sure if it came off the PSG player. The ball to Suarez I mean.

Where is this dog of a referee from?

The worst ones for helping Barca are always from Germany or a small association like Norway/Sweden.

The Italians and French are much stronger.
