Several great saves - mainly by Forster (great double), but the best was by Valdes - a miss by Mulgrew and a piece of absolute stupidity by Brown (the subsequent acting by Neymar was diabolical too)!

Looked a 'battling 0-0' up until the sending off.

Superb performance

Wouldn't go that far.Decent, battling performance against a Barca team I'm growing increasingly bored by.They refuse to commit more than maybe 4/5 players to attack, tap it around 35-40 yards away from the goal until the opposition switch off/get bored.If Barca are this wonderful attacking team, commit forward,leave gaps at the back and get Celtc out of their 18 yard box
Fraser Forster was emense.

Yup, he'd stroll into the England team if he played down south.

absolute stupidity by Brown (the subsequent acting by Neymar was diabolical too)!

So Brown is only stupid for kicking someone but Neymar is diabolical for being hurt by it?You're not Mark McGhee by any chance?

Their fans are awesome !!!!!

I'll assume you mean Celtc.They most certainly are not.I've only been gassed at a football match once.I've only ever had a 8 inch blade held to my neck once at a football match.I've only heard a majority of an opposition support sing songs glorifying the IRA.I've only had my car smashed up outside one football ground.

Take a guess what team did all the above.

I know some good Celtc guys, but this myth that they're the greatest fans is exactly that, a myth.

It was the quality of the acting (diabolical - excruciatingly bad) I was talking about. In a Spanish team acting is, unfortunately, to be expected. Iniesta's effort just as he was sub-ed made me smile - hobbling around like a cripple until he realised he'd been sub-ed, then walking off absolutely in balance!

The definition of stupidity - lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, wit, or sense - seems pretty appropriate to Brown's kick!

As for being hurt by the kick, I severely doubt whether he really was - though that certainly doesn't justify it - with plenty of legitimate tackles/ball contests and falls likely to have caused more injury. It was a Red Card offence all day though.

Turned it on at about 15 minutes in, switched over by 25 minutes as it was boring the life out of me.
It actually reminded me of watching England, bodies behind the ball, win the ball but lose it 5 seconds later :D

Pot kettle.The creatures from Leith are something else.Mankier than the deed club and that is saying something.

Decent performance but sadly missing quality up top.Stokes is a decent Hibs player but nothing more and was again found wanting last night.With a Hooper type plus a Wanyama I believe we would be sitting with 4 points. Broony was out of order,soft maybe but there are easier,less problematic ways of letting him know you are still there and Broony let his team down last night sadly.Still the goal was Europa League and I still think we can do that and the Milan equaliser helps us. Good that folk are talking about a Scottish team in the group stages in the CL narrowly being beaten by giants of Europe instead of how utterly embarrasing an exit in the qualifying rounds of the Europa Cup to some tin pot minnow side though.....

Pretty much verbatim the reply I was expecting.Pot kettle,eh? Tell me when you heard a Hibs support singing songs about the IRA, or flying flags Palestinian flags simply because the other arse cheek flew Israeli flags.You don't offer hear about domestic abuse increasing hugely after an Edinburgh derby...can the same thing be said about Glasgow emergency rooms?

A pox on this country, along with the other lot.
