Unai Emery has been reflecting on the 6-1 defeat his Paris Saint-Germain side suffered at the Camp Nou when Barcelona completed a famous Champions League comeback.
In a particularly damaging result for PSG, the hosts scored three goals in the final 10 minutes of the game to eliminate the French side.
"There are lots of details in that game that can be scrutinised," Emery said during a chat with Granada coach Diego Martinez.
"But if I start from the end, I'd change the referee and that's it.
"I watched a repeat of the game the other day because I found it while I was zapping through channels.
"I watched it from the 50th minute to the 82nd minute.
"We were 3-0 down, we scored to make it 3-1 and we had a one-on-one that [Edinson] Cavani hit at the goalkeeper to make it 3-2; a clear penalty on [Angel] Di Maria that wasn't given; and in the 82nd minute, Di Maria fouled Neymar for the goal.
"That's when I stopped watching.
"In that section of the game, I saw that one of our important players, who had had injury problems during the season, was hiding in the result.
"Maybe I would substitute him now.
"They are details, circumstances that escape you in a game.
"Then there are other key circumstances: the Barcelona players, especially [Luis] Suarez, going down in the box continuously, pressuring the referee until he fell into their trap."
Later that summer, Neymar moved to Emery's PSG for a world record transfer fee.
"I had a magnificent year with him, I learned so much watching his responses in each training session and in games," Emery said about the Brazilian.
"Neymar has the talent inside him but also the ability and qualities to execute it.
"I think he's got an opportunity to take the baton from [Lionel] Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and be the best player in the world, and he has the time to do it."

There is only one big club that was found and penalized for corruption and referee pay and that was JUVENTUS. Most corrupt club ever, stripped of 2 league titles and sent to SERIE B ππππππ
