Barcelona did the impossible by overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit and winning 6-1 at the Camp Nou in dramatic style in the Champions League. One very angry PSG fan is so annoyed with referee Deniz Aytekin's performance that he has started a petition for the game to be replayed.

The critics have been all over referee Deniz Aytekin like a rash after his performance in the match, with many key decisions he made completely wrong, ultimately affecting the result of the match.

The petition has been created on worldwide site change.org by a fan called Luis Melendo. In the petition it has 13 questionable decisions made by referee Deniz Aytekin during the match.

- Minute 2: Offside goal by Luis Suarez.

- Minute 11: Uncalled penalty on Javier Mascherano after using his hands inside the box.

- Minute 23: Red card not given to Pique.

- Minute 42: What should have been a second yellow for Gerard Pique turned into Edinson Cavani being booked.

- Minute 45: Three and a half minutes of added time.

- Minute 48: Non-existent penalty on Neymar, who deliberately seeks contact.

- Minute 54: Neymar simulates a penalty again. A card was not issued.

- Minute 64: Act of aggression by Neymar, who deserved to be sent off.

- Minute 78: Hand-ball by Pique inside the box. Not called.

- Minute 85: Uncalled penalty on Mascherano for taking down Angel Di Maria inside the box.

- Minute 89: Blatant dive by Suarez that somehow earned a penalty.

- Minute 90: Five minutes of added time (or until Barcelona score).

- Minute 92: Suarez deserved to be shown a second yellow card for simulating a penalty.

Deniz Aytekin is now potentially looking at not being included in any further Champions League matches, and is reportedly set for retrospective action for his poor performance, by UEFA.

There are currently over 41,000 signatures on the petition, although it is incredible unlikely that UEFA would review the petition, let alone entertain the idea of a replay. Take a look for yourself: ​PSG V Barcelona Petition
