In under 24 hours the petition has gained momentum, gathering 100,000 signatures as it pleads for the game to be replayed.

Many people were left dissatisfied with Deniz Aytekin's performance, and Barcelona's subsequent comeback. One of these people, Luis Olmedo, has even decided to request a rematch on change.org.

In less than one day, the appeal has been signed by nearly 100,000 displeased football supporters.

In the petition, Luis Olmedo lists all the reasons why he thinks PSG were wronged, including:

 

2nd min: Offside goal by Luis Suarez

11th min: Uncalled penalty on Javier Mascherano for handball inside the box

23rd min: Gerard Pique not sent off

42nd min: Edinson Cavani being booked instead of Pique's second yellow

45th min: Three and a half minutes of stoppage time

48th min: Neymar penalty given after forward deliberately seeks contact

54th min: Neymar simulates another penalty. No yellow card was given

64th min: Violent conduct by Neymar, should have seen red card

78th min: Handball by Pique inside the box, but not given

85th min: Uncalled penalty on Mascherano for challenge on Angel Di Maria inside the box

89th min: Obvious dive by Suarez who was awarded a penalty

90th min: Five minutes of added time (or until Barcelona score!)

92nd min: Suarez deserved second yellow card for simulating penalty
