Did Luis Suarez dive to win crucial late penalty for Barcelona?
Let the arguments begin.
Though it will likely be lost amid the discussion surrounding the most remarkable comeback the Champions League has ever seen, Luis Suarez's apparent flop to win a late penalty for Barcelona certainly won't be forgotten by those in Paris.
As the contest approached the 90th minute, Barca still needed to find the net twice to overturn the deficit - by now, the entire football world knows that's exactly what happened, with Sergi Roberto's 95th-minute tally clinching the incredible 6-1 triumph (and subsequent 6-5 aggregate victory).

But the little Spanish substitute would never have gotten that chance had Neymar not slotted home a penalty in the 91st minute to make it 5-1 to the Catalan side on the evening.
Replays, however, suggest Suarez flung himself to the ground under nonexistent contact from Marquinhos to win the spot-kick.
Was it a dive by Suarez?
