Football.

Jesus bloody Christ, football. God, honestly though, I just love football so much. And football loves me. Remember that Manchester City and Monaco game? Remember it? The French outfit going 3-2 up, Radamel Falcao proving he's actually a good footballer, John Stones cocking up and then John Stones scoring, City winning 5-3... the game to end all games. For about two weeks, yeah. Let's set the scene: Paris Saint Germain came to Camp Nou on Wednesday night with a four-goal deficit. It was a pointless, dead-rubber. Right? https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839564313400590336 Seven goals and 95 minutes of football later and life will never be the same again. Ever. Barcelona 6 - 1 PSG (Barcelona win 6-5 on aggregate) https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839594195086163973 Do you want to know better than that? Barca initially got three goals back and everyone shit themselves. There was one in it, the comeback was actually about to be complete. And then... and then. Then Edison Cavani decided to take part in the game, he half-volleyed into the net and, with the away goal and a two-goal aggregate buffer, PSG were cruising home with three to spare. Jamie Carragher, given the tough slog of covering a goalless affair between Man City and Stoke, sensed an opportunity to win back the viewers. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/839584700121362434 Considering the effort he had put in, it was the least everyone could do for him. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/839586291750600704 But hopefully you weren't as obliging beyond a split screen because what was about to unfold in Spain was simply, breathtakingly ridiculous. With 88 minutes on the clock, PSG were home and hosed with three goals to spare. All they had to do was not freak out. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839589517568929804 Then Neymar scored a free kick. https://twitter.com/RizkyRaspek/status/839600734018523137 Then Neymar scored a penalty - Barca's second spot kick of the night. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839591166433718276 5-1. Sorry, Piers... https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839591782648279043 Then PSG had a melt down and, in the last minute of injury time, Sergi Roberto made it 6-1, made the French outfit's away goal redundant and put Barcelona through to the quarter-final of the Champions League. Poor Piers Mogan was getting it in the teeth at this stage. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839592556883243009 PSG probably were more so, in fairness. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839593791740866569 And the place went absolutely insane. Steven Gerrard's reaction was priceless. https://twitter.com/TheKopMagazine/status/839596883194572800 What is life now? https://twitter.com/TyNOConnor/status/839594110797373441 The greatest comeback ever? https://twitter.com/1965EPerez/status/839595226687647744 Seriously though. https://twitter.com/paulcollinstipp/status/839595928088690688 Testify. https://twitter.com/keithmctigue/status/839594011295903744 Just you f**king try it. https://twitter.com/francis_maxwell/status/839595623523332096 Footballers on the ditch... Spare a thought. https://twitter.com/Uali92/status/839594465920708614 Somebody kiss me. Now. https://twitter.com/kcommons15/status/839592945300930560 FFS, Jamie... https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/839598032786194433
